Rosanne Cannon-Schiedel on Jan 31, 2015Looks like maybe spider plants but could be daylilies. If you don't want them send them to me especially if they are the wild orange invasive ones, that I have been looking for.Helpful Reply

Carol May on Jan 31, 2015They are NOT SPIDER LILIES or HURRICANE LILLIES that bloom in September. They are probably daylily tubers. They ARE easily grown and MAY be nice plants (blooms). I have quite a variety, from the 'natural' orange ones to almost black, purple, red and almost white.You can contain them in an old tub or planter if you wish to see what they are when they bloom. I have a row of the 'natural' ones around my driveway so they do not invade my gardens. If you don't want them, you can always dig up the excess and throw them away, just be certain to get ALL of the tubers; any tuber left will make a new plant.Helpful Reply

Jeanie on Feb 01, 2015It looks like day lillies or irises to me they both spread and if you don't want them just thin them out in the summer or keep them potted. I have some that I just pot and they come back every year and it is no problem to control that way. ..Helpful Reply

Shirley on Feb 01, 2015Day Lilies! I've never seen any reference to them being grown indoors. Pop them back in the ground outdoors. They will put up more foliage soon. They bloom various times in the summer depending on the variety. Just cut back the foliage in July when they get ratty looking and they will put up new foliage again in a few weeks. Trim them down again at the end of the season when they get ratty again. To prevent disease, get rid of the part that you cut off.Helpful Reply

Karen on Feb 01, 2015I'm going out on a limb and saying they are dahlia bulbs. If they are, I would not force them inside as they can get to be three to five feet tall!Helpful Reply

Cyndi Neumann on Feb 02, 2015Could they possibly be daffodils as they are sprouting up in Feb now? A spring bloomer for a short period is why I never purchased any before, These were a gift from a friend dividing bulbs. Not sure, but YES, I will get them in the ground. I wanted Hyacinths and could not find any bulbs in store yet to plant and force bloom with pussy willows like in Country Gardens magazine. If They are daylilies I will love them even more, Thanks for all of your responses..... Smiles, CyndiHelpful Reply

Cyndi Neumann on Feb 15, 2015Sorry, I meant I never buy Haycinths because short bloom period, but I found some at the grocery store already planted and ready to bloom so I got two for $2.98 each. They are both Pinks and just fabulous. I also have some pussy willow that is blooming beautifullyHelpful Reply
