Mystery Flower Does Anyone Recognize This Flower
I couldn't find a bulb either, it was just a finger width white stalk with a delicate flower on the end. Bloom lasted about a week.
I found others around my property and tried to transplant them, however all I found was the stem. Presuming that I'd cut the stem off the bulb I tossed it aside, and it bloomed anyway. so I replaced it in the ground .... And this is what I got...

Lyn2398900 on Nov 24, 2015I agree that it's an autumn crocus. They have big long green leaves at first and they die down and then come autumn, big flowers show up. I hate the in-between tho. They have huge flowers compared to the regular crocus.Helpful Reply

Valerie on Nov 25, 2015Yes, a crocus. Just FYI, there is an app for your phone called "Like That Garden" that is really helpful. You open the app, take a picture and it searches and finds the flower and gives you the name. I LOVE this app.Helpful Reply

Cheri Knox on Nov 25, 2015Looks like an Autumn Crocus, not a true crocus, but related to the lily family. Common name is naked lady because it blooms after the leaves have disappeared. Beautiful, but all parts are highly toxic to cats and dogs.Helpful Reply
