    Unknown bulb. No flowers on it. Is there anyone that can guess?

    Compare with Agapanthus.

    Does kind of look like Agapanthus. Thin leaves though. Not thick and hearty but don't know if that comes from age. No flowers for the past year. Does anyone know how to get them to bloom so I know for sure?

    If it's a fall-blooming bulb like a Nerine you won't see flowers now.

    Okay thanks. It didn't have any on them this past year though. I'll see with plenty of watering and fertilization if I see a change this year. I really appreciate the input! Have a wonderful day!!:)

    The plant looks strong and healthy. Evidently has everything (may be more than) it needs. You risk doing much more harm than good with unnecessary, excessive watering and/or fertilization.
    I am thinking, do you use nitrogen fertilizer on the plant already? It could be the cause that it grows so strong and green without attempting to produce flowers.

    I have done nothing so far other than occasional watering. We had a pretty wet winter so watering want really necessary until now. No fertilizer no nothing.

    Another fall-blooming bulb.
