I bought a small plant at an MGS plant sale a few years ago and have lost the name.  It looks like a spider plant with thin spikey leaves coming out of the center and in early spring there are lovely pink flowers on the new spikes.  It is very prolific and can be divided multiple times.  Does this sound familiar?  Many thanks.

Any chance of a foto?

Sounds like Liriope muscari. Sally did have some in the nursery some time ago.

I haven't sent a photo yet because without the flowers it just looks like a spider plant.  I looked up liriope muscari.  My early spring flowers are pink not purple or white and don't look at all like the grape hyacinth  mentioned in Wikipedia. I can't exactly remember what they look like but I think it's more like a baby spider plant coming out of the center on a spike and maybe shaped a bit like fuchsia.  I'll just have to wait till spring and take a picture to send in:)

If this isn't a Liriope muscari, see the photo below for what that looks like right now, perhaps it's Zephyranthes 'La Bufa Rosa'. Sally had pots of bulbs some time ago. It doesn't really match your description though as sometimes the flowers come up before the leaves, it only matches the pink bit.

I have them all in pots - all because although I bought just one, I have divided them easily and have half a dozen.  They look like the picture of liriope, not like the pink flower Zephiranthes.  After the flowers bloom and die, the plant needs tending.  You can pull out easily (they don't need clipping) the brown spikes - the ones that held the flowers - and they all need this now.  Then they look as the photo of Liriope muscari you posted.

It sounds to me like Billbergia nutans.

That's it!  Thank you so much.  Where is it in Sparoza?
