Of the 3 I would guess tulip.

I think crocus and allium (I guess it depends upon the variety) has thinner or wispier foliage...more grass like.

I have been known to be wrong b4 though.

Something else to get an idea of scale would have been nice (next time, try a penny or quarter in the photo). If I had to guess, I'll say tulip.

Definitely not a Crocus!.

I think its the Allium, although that covers a lot of different plants. Tulips tend to be thicker and more rounded at the ends. Some Garlic that just sprouted looks exactly like your plant.

All my alliums have much thinner foliage.

I would say a tulip.

ouch. I was just going to say I didn't think it was a tulip.

I don't think tulips usually have that little lighter colored sheath that protects the leaves as they push up through the ground. I'm going to vote allium.

Crocus foliage is very narrow and has a white line down the middle.

Thanks for all the replies. I guess now that you've all mentioned it it can't be a Crocus because it doesn't have the sheath. But because they come up first I figured it had to be one of them and because at the end of summer I looked for my Tulips and Alliums I had planted near the Crocus and couldn't find them-I figured they had rotted or had been eaten by rats.

So this is a good sign, sort of, and I may have another pic later in the week as we're going to hit 47 on Friday.
