Any one know what these two are?

The first doesn't produce by flower and when I dig it up it has brown bulb /conker like things attached to the leaves.

The second I think is a weed but not sure!

The first one looks like an allium that doesn’t flower. Possibly it isn’t planted deeply enough. They’re quite cheap so if it doesn’t flower I’d plant some more next Autumn.
The second could be several things that have similar leaves. Possibly Feverfew.

First looks like allium I also think.
Second, (I’ve never grown feverfew but if its not that) could be herb robert or a type of wild carrot or wood anemone.

Id love it be an alium!

Thanks for the replies

Sometimes bulbs which are coming up 'blind' (leaves but no flowers) need a feed.

Second one could be a geranium?feel the leaves usu 'hairy'underneath crush leaves to see if they smell (not a horrible smell btw)

Herb Robert is a type of wild geranium, it smells quite nasty imo. It looks a bit like that but I think a bit different though.

Agree that the first is an allium and the second feverfew- it will have white flowers soon.

Plantlover · 03/05/2018 23:36

Should I dig the alium up since it has never flowered in the years I've been here?

Thankyou for all the help .

Yes to unpleasant smell. When crushed, Herb Robert (aka Stinking Bob) leaves smell like burnt tyres to me

Second is feverfew. It has white daisy flowers. It spreads like mad.
