It looks like a deranged strawberry.
That's a topset onion.

Thanks Rob. I had to google that and apparently you can use them in cooking. I doubt I'll be doing that though.
They taste pretty good. Nancy uses the green part (before they go to seed) like chives.
Very edible.
I know them as "onion grass". For most of the spring, they're tall tufts of chive-like spires. When summer hits, they send up a stalk, bloom, and produce a large cluster of "onion seeds". They do have a bulb underground, which is quite tasty minced on buttered bread, or simply eaten raw (if you can take it!)
When they get into the garden, they are persistant pests.
