Spring Flower of the Day

This is a wild flower that is very annoying, but pretty. I don't know the technical name, but we call them wild onions. When you pull them out of the ground they have tiny little onions at the end. They have a very strong onion smell. Each little flower head becomes a new plant, which is what makes them annoying. They get everywhere, especially where you don't want them.
