They are on some states' list of noxious weeds. They do spread readily. I think they're sweet, and though they do spread in my garden, they haven't muscled out anything else. I'm just not concerned when I dig them up upon planting other things.

Sounds like you may be speaking of the "Crocus", a small corm type bulb which is usually the first to bloom in late winter. Many times they are pushing through the snow and bloom very early. There is a winter blooming variety and a summer blooming variety. They come in many colors which range from purple, yellow, whites, and even mottled purple and white varieties. The leaves are no more than, as you say, thick blades of grass with a white stripe going down the entire length of the blade. Here is a couple links with some pics and info.. Hope this answers your question.
