This is one of my favorite weeds. I believe it is wild garlic (Allium canadense), also called meadow garlic. It smells oniony, has flat leaves and a lovely white flower in May here in eastern Massachusetts. Sometimes we get one or two flowers in the grass. I always enjoy seeing them and I mow around them. There are wild flower identification sites at http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/alliumcana.html and at http://2bnthewild.com/plants/H134.htm
