Very helpful. Thank you.
I found a bulb underneath my prim roses. It was completely round about the size of a golf ball with a single root about the size of my finger. I planted in a cup about 2 weeks back and it's just now beginning to sprout. The stem is red/orange. Again it's only day one of something sprouting so more information to come, but I am at a complete loss on what it is.
Does anyone know what kind of flower this bulb produces? Southern Quebec.
THANK YOU!!
Found a bulb in my garden looks like a tulip bulb but leaves are skinny and foot tall. No idea what it is. Thought they were crocuses but those bulbs are tiny
Bishops Weed goes dormant but is not a bulb. Darn stuff, 28 years trying to dig it up and it spreads more each year. This year I found out it is Edible.
