Plant ID pretty please :)

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

Hi all :)

I'm hoping for an ID on this plant. When we moved here, our neighbor knew what it was, but we have long since forgotten and he has moved. I'm sure it's quite common, whatever it is. It spends a lot of time producing bunches of bulbs and we wondered if it is worth collecting the bulbs. The fence is 6 ft. Flowers are white.

Pretty carefree & the flowers have a nice scent, usually. The only pests that seem to bother it are lubber grasshoppers.

I know of these but didn't know the name so thanks for that info fawnridge. On one that was growing by the railroad tracks near me I snapped off some of the flowers ( blubs I guess you could call them - before they open ) and put them into a vase and they opened and lasted a week and were pretty in my house. They have an interesting scent. I think you will either like it or not like it. I'm so so about it. It seems from what I've noticed with these that they only flower here and there ( not all year ) Right now my neighbors one is flowing nice with pink/whitish flowers
