| Scott had some marvelous "mystery bulbs", and I had thought they may be what's referred to as "African Hostas", Drimiopsis maculata. I dug up some that had sprouted again in my side yard, and the bulb looks identical.
Please see the link below - if you look VERY closely, you can see the tops of the bulbs. I'm fairly certain that's what they are. Lin |

| Thanks Lin. Are these the ones that get dots on them in the shade? I got some of these from Scott at the spring sale. Is the link a picture of a type of plant that you already have (the one that came up in your side yard)? I was born in south africa and lived in swaziland, so that plant would have some special meaning to me. Alison |

| Yes, Alison, they get dots on them and mine came up in a shade garden that's fairly neglected. I just dug mine up to move, and they look identical to what Scott share. How nice to have a little piece of home with you here in Texas! Lin |

| Thanks for the info, I wasn't sure what they were or where they go, but now I know! Mike |
