I gave some of these away at a mtg. without tags. i thought it was scilla or squill, but I'm not sure now. I know it's an easy one to ID, but I can't find my tag and am having brain freeze.

Is it a dogtooth violet or trout lily?

I don't think so, but I don't have a better answer.

Here's a close up of the bulb. They die back in winter, but come up again in early spring

It could be Lachenalia but I would prefer to see the flower open.

The flowers are fairly insignificant. I entered it in a flower show once. I'll try to find the tag. Thanks for trying!

Reminds me of silver squill...ledebouria socialis. Your leaves, however, seem wider then the leaves on mine. I posted some pics in the DB

I have a silver squill, but the leaves are narrow compared to this one.

I looked at your other pics. When I saw the bulbs sticking out , I knew what it was because I have a pot of them. (They are dormant now)

drimiopsis maculata (African hosta)

You are right! I think I ID'd it as a scilla for the plant show and it was accepted. I looked it up and it's certainly the same as the photos online. Thanks so much. I had no idea they could be planted in the ground here. I'm going to stick some under my oak tree tomorrow.

Appreciate everyone's help on this ID
