I’ve found 2 plants that I need an ID, firstly I have lots of what look like tufts of grass but when I dug them up I found hundreds of tiny pearly bulbs... I guessed some sort of allium?

secondly, and I have photos for this one! What might this be? It’s everywhere!

    looks to me like one of the willow herb varieties which most would consider weeds

    No idea what it's called but it's a weed. If it's everywhere it's always unlikely to be a flower.
    As to the bulbs could be grape hyacinths.

    They are Willowherb, I dig them out before they flower, they throw out thousands of seeds, as a fuchsia grower I daren’t allow it anyway.

    Your bulbs sound like chives. I did the same thing with mine, forgetting I'd planted them there!

    Thanks so much as always :)

    I don't believe they were chives or grape hyacinths but after a bit of research they sound like a weed called onion grass if there is such a thing?!
