Having set local MGS member the task of tracking down good bulbs to go with John's talk at the weekend, he brought this back - inevitably with no name. John has said maybe Ornithogalum narbonense type, maybe, perhaps, any thoughts from you lovely lot ?

Hi Rosie,
It is Albuca bracteata syn Ornithogalum caudatum.
Originating in S. africa, taking its name for these prominent bracts.
