Plant Tubers ID?

Question

Does anyone know what these are; or will be when they bloom? I am going to try and force some inside to see if I can find out. 
They were just peeping out of the ground!

Thanks for any answers! Smiles, Cyndi

Jennifer Cotier · Answer

They look like daylilies, probably the common orange ones, they are invasive

Cyndi Neumann · Answer

Thanks Jennifer, they very well could be, looks just like them! Smiles, Cyndi

Nancy Hebb · Answer

I agree. Daylilies and if the are the orange ditch lilies , they spread. They will completely crowd other vegetation out....beware

Rosanne Cannon-Schiedel · Answer

Looks 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.

Carol May · Answer

They 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.

Dee · Answer

Thats why they call them b- - -ch lilys because once you plant them they are a b- - -ch to get control.

Jeanie · Answer

It 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.

Day 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.

Karen · Answer

I'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!

Darlynn Griser Fine · Answer

Looks like day lilies to me.

BONNIE J · Answer

THEY R A TUBER, ANYWAY--PLANT & FIND OUT! NICE SURPRISE & EXPENSIVE TO BUY!

Deb Baril · Answer

We use a permanent marker and write it on the tuber.

Ell · Answer

the plant stem does not look like daylilies at all. I agree with Karen: dahlias.

Loretta Clark · Answer

I thought they looked like iris.

Cyndi Neumann · Answer

Could 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, Cyndi

Cyndi Neumann · Answer

OK, I will wait ti see when the bloom higher. Thanks for ALL of your Suggestions! I planted them around my Japanese Maple tiny tree which was a present for my husband a few years back. 
Smiles, Cyndi

Cyndi Neumann · Answer

Sorry, 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 beautifully
