I need a help identifying that plant,
just brought it from Spain ( Catalonia ) few days ago
it was growing in big around 20 bulbs clump
all the bulbs were more then half of there size above the soil level.
on the picture avocado is by the bulb to give idea of the size of it.

I would like to know what it is before planting it in right spot.

Thank you

Looks very much like Urginea Maritima - more commonly known as - squill, sea squill or sea onion to me - especially as you mentioned that the other bulbs were way bigger than the one you have.

Which if it is - you have an easy care perennial plant requiring very little TLC - that grows to around 3 ft in both height and width and bears a mass of tightly clustered, small pink tinged, star shaped white flowers on 4 ft tall stalks - in late summer.
