Identifying spring bulbs that look like ramps but are probably not

9 years ago

I live in an old house (1840's) and have inherited a small bed of spring bulbs that do not seem to flower and die back later in the summer. I have wondered what their purpose was. They do not taste "onion"y, but do have a not unpleasant flavor like many other greens. The do not look like ramps to me in that the coloration of the stem is different. The bulbs are pretty deep and it is hard to dig out a leaf



without losing the bulb. I wondered if anyone could tell me what these are and whether they are meant to be eaten. (I am pretty sure they are not lily of the valley--they do not have the same leaf structure). I attach photos of the bed and what the plants look like.


Thanks in advance, Phil
