I will say I'm not totally happy with that 'guess'.* I'd suggest you contact your local extension service.* I'm sure it's some type of Allium.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
