Mystery Growth? ( photo / image / picture from kathyd's Garden ) We have had an immense amount of rain this summer, and also a hurricane. My husband and I noticed these growths at the base of our oak tree. It looks as if the ground has washed out due the heavy rains. Does anyone have any idea what this is. All we can come up with is that there are some bulb plants growing nearby, grape hyacinth, daffodils, crocus, etc., but when I looked at some mature speciman bulbs of these in the last weeks, I wasn't so sure anymore. Any ideas? A few close-ups are below. Mystery 2 ( photo / image / picture from kathyd's Garden ) Mystery 3 ( photo / image / picture from kathyd's Garden )
I was thinking that was the most likely too...now what should I do with them, cover them back up, move them??? How close should they be planted if I move them...if I do move them, should I replant them clustered as they naturally grew...decisions...decisions. :-?
Recommended plant spacing is 3" but you can also leave some clustered a little closer than that for the more natural look they would have as they multiply. They should be planted about 3" deep. You have enough to make several little clusters of them around the yard. But get them replanted soon, so they will be ready to bloom early next spring.
Nice find Kathyd, i am sure something would have come along and disturbed those bulbs before long and damaged them beyond use,..well spotted,..now to spread them around seeing you don't have to bother digging them up.
