Baby irises?

Not iris, my money is on tulips.

Or Hyacinths of some kind. They look just like the ones I accidentally pull out when I am removing the slimy yellow leaves in a big patch this time of year. The tulips seem to have somewhat broader leaves, though the bulb color in this picture is like tulips and not the white of hyacinths, or the ones I deal with anyway.

I'm thinking gladiolas. You can never fully remove them from an area because their little bulbs spread like crazy. Has anyone had gladiolas in that area?

I think that leaves doesnt looks like gladiols or other iris family member.

Why dont you put that poor baby bulb back to the soil and see what flower they will give to you.

Well, no possibility of them being tulips, we have never had them up there, and the animal that went through and ate all of the bulbs already. Same answer with hyacinth, not possible. So what are my other options?

Gladiolas

Where were they growing, Brendan, in the lawn, in the garden, in the wild? The leaves do resemble gladioli but are they actually hardy enough to overwinter in Michigan? I thought they had to be lifted for winter in colder than Zone 7? They also don't quite look flat enough to be gladiolus corms.

Do they smell oniony at all?
