This is not giving me *Allium* vibes, idk how to describe it other than that. Are the leaves fragrant? Hollow?

Only way to know is to let it grow. Just don’t eat them.

Hard to know without any size comparison but if they are all small and smell like onions then they would be onion grass.

I say let them grow and find out. Could be onions. Could be a hyacinth.

There are several plants that resemble wild onion “death camas” for example if you try to eat them you will die. So be careful please.

Wild onion

There are a few grassy looking bulbs that can sprout greens in the fall. Top two would be Muscari or Scilla.
Onions or relatives are easy to rule out because they have a distinctive smell to them.
Do not test by eating, several bulb forming plants are Highly toxic, daffodil and other narcissus are going to give you a bad time. On the off chance Death Camas occurs in your area… well its aptly named.

Looks like grape hyacinths to me. Pull them or they will spread everywhere! i had little clumps in the flower beds but they spread to the grass. Mowing them is like mowing snot. Slippery and gunks us the mower bad.

They look like Scilla which multiply at a much higher rate than muscari.

Could be saffron crocus. They bloom in the fall

As it could be any of these bulbs, it’s best to wait till it blooms.

Nah those are muscari , or grape hyacinth, because I have the same thing in my garden, usually at this time they will start sprouting
