Does anyone know what these might be?

I found some tiny bulbs in a pot of soil that had been left in the garden when we moved here last year and I potted them up an this is what has grown. No flowers.

Are they likely to turn into anything more interesting?

Maybe crocosmia?

I’ve got some Acidanthera murielae that look like that, I’m still waiting for them to flower.

Could be...likely something in the Iridaceae family anyway. If the bulbs/corms were tiny they may need to grow a bit before they produce flowers. I'd keep them anyway.

Maybe crocosmia?

Our crocosmia are currently looking like this.

I think Acidanthera, you obv. can't be sure.

Definitely worth keeping. Do update when they flower?

but obv.

My thought was crocosmia too. Mine haven't flowered the last two years and spend months looking like your pic .

I have something in a pot that looks just like this as well, but I've no idea what it is. I do have a vague recollection of buying Acidanthera though. It flowered last year as well.

A key thing is to look at the base. Are the leaves coming in two opposite ranks, rather than at all angles, so the plant looks flattened at the base?

I had a load of greenery much like this which arrived every year, no flowers ever.

I dug it out this spring, it had tiny white bulbs. They looked almost luminous.

Sorry!

Thanks for all the replies!

I have some 'adult' crocosmia too but what grew from the tiny bulbs didn't really look at all like the adult crocosmia so I didn't make the connection. I will certainly keep tending to them and see what happens next year though!
