Its a flower in the scilla family. and i have a lot of them in the garden. found the name Italian Bluebell....

Italian Bluebell /Italian Squil/Hyacinthoides italica It is one of three species in the genus Hyacinthoides, the others being the Common Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) in northwestern Europe.
Scilla (squill) is a genus of bulb-forming perennial herbs in the Hyacinthaceae. The 90-odd species are found in woodlands, subalpine meadows, and seashores across the Old World. Their flowers are usually blue, but white, pink, and purple types are known; most flower in early spring, but a few are autumn-flowering.
