Hello to everybody I found a plant and what I think it is most interesting is that it had a kind of bulb. I thought the plant was simply an onion but once I made a hole and I found the bulbs I realized I had no idea about that plant. Hopefully somebody here will know which plant is. I found it in Spain, at 1000 meters high, it is winter but we have had one week with nice weather, like 20ºC Max, and it looks like spring already. Also I would like to ask if it is an edible plant. Thanks for your help!
If no luck here, try the Scottish Rock Garden Club Forum -- a lot of bulb-type plant growers there, who may have personal experience with this.
Hi Daniel, thanks for the link. I will wait more time and if I don't get answers I will use that forums. Regards!
Hi, I think this is an asphodel ( Asphodelus ). A search on "asphodel tuber" will produce a few images. There are several species that it could be - check out Flora Iberica here: http://www.floraiberica.es/PHP/cientificos_.php?gen=Asphodelus boa sorte Brian
Thanks bjo! It is difficult to know if it is or not that plant because I cannot find many images. What I will do is wait some days and then I will come back to the forest to see if that plant has developed flowers. In that case it will be much more easy to confirm your thoughts. After going there I will write a post with extra photos to comment here and talk about its uses. According to this website it is an edible plant and you can do glue, it is interesting. http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/a/aspho080.html Regards!
Hello, Finally I was lucky. I have seen hundreds of this plants but none of them had flowers. After some time I found 4 that had flower, I took some pictures. I hope that helps to guess what plant is. Thanks!
