I found this flower on my lawn. It appears to a wild bulb of somekind. It is so pretty, I dug it up and put in a flower pot, but can anybody tell me what it is? It closes at the end of the
day and opens in the morning.

What a pretty little flower. Do you know if its a bulb? You may want to post this to the identification forum. They're pretty good at figuring out mystery plants.

Looks like an ornithogalum.

I agree it's an Ornithogalum, possibly O. umbellatum http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/495/

Looks like what we call 'Bethlehem Star'.
