Has anyone seen anything like this before? I found it while weeding and raking in my shade garden. It is in a bed with bulbs. I've never seen anything like it.
Neither of the photos are that clear, sorry but its a totally round shaped plant


Cheers and thanks

Very weird Greg. Keep an eye on that and maybe we can ID it as it matures.

Greg, it reminds me of the opening scene in Men In Black II.

Rick I never saw it, but yes this thing looks alien for sure!

Greg, has it gotten any bigger? Seems like an odd time for an emerging plant. I'll be curious to see what it grows into.

If it weren't green and kind of "tightly-wrapped-cabbage" looking on top, I would think "mushroom or puffball".

Rick I thought the same thing...Deb, it is an odd time, but it is along side a high cement wall, so maybe its been cold enough and warm enough to send it into early spring feeling?? It is a hard round ball, not mushy at all, it does have a white stem.

Keep us posted with pics.

I will...I looked at it again today and it hasn't changed at all in a couple days...don't hole thy breathe!

hmmmmm--aliens invaded your yard

@gg5, whatever became of your alien life form?

Its just sitting there I guess it takes time for the signal to get back to the home planet! haha :P

My guess is a lily. I have some where the tops got cut off or for some reason aren't there. But the 'leaves' continue to grow minus their pointy little tops.

It does look like something that began growing and got chopped off. It is in the middle of my spanish hyacinths, so that is what I'm guessing it is! As soon as it changes at all, I'll update a photo here - but so far it looks just the same.

Greg, I love your new avatar, beautiful dog, great photo!

Well thank you Margaret! Bev (@webesemps) says I should have it be either semps, or my face...but this little happy dog makes me smile!!

Greg, I did like seeing your face but I know that sometimes we like a change, and it's nice that the little dog makes you smile!

Exactly right margaret!!
