    These are in bloom now-February (Georgia). I think they are bulbs as they come back every year. I want more but can't identify them. Garden novice.

    Thanks!

    the id is correct and, yes, they ARE bulbs. they're best planted in the fall, so look for bulbs in the stores at that time.

    Thanks for the replies. I just noticed that I have some more growing in another bed! We have only been in this house for 3 years. We notice new plants each year. I did see that I would need to plant them in the fall. Thanks again.
