Alice, I have been intrigued that nobody has identified your mystery flower. I am not really good at it but I can't stand the suspense. I don't mind making mistakes!! Could it be a Zephyranthus?

Brave of you, Charithea and Carole but no, neither Zephyranthes nor hyacinth.
Jorun, not Valeriana but you are thinking along the right lines.
