As the leaves are not clear, let us keep it as a Gagea species only.

Ok dear Garg ji.

I agree with you.  This Gagea ID 457 and 456 are growing very closely in the same location. This Gagea leaves (only four is visible) are very small greenish purple in colour, were as leaves of Gagea 456 is comparatively big and more visible at the same time.  Sharing an expanded image of leaves.

With kind regards, Sam.

Dear Garg ji,

Sharing more images from nearby surroundings, flower died but it is basel and centered.  So I think it is of the same kind plant and which is pointing that after flower death, leaves getting maturity.  With kind regards, Sam.
