Anyone recognise this?

This has been in my garden 23 years and has never flowered. Just these leaves every year.

Picture?

Sorry!

It won't let me for some reason

Now we have two! lol

Crocosmia? It doesn't look very happy, whatever it is.

Do they smell oniony? If they do they're some sort of allium. I don't think it's crocosmia. I've dug up so many of those bloody things. They're a corm rather than a bulb, often stacked like beads and, if memory serves, often have a fibrous coat.

They have a back coat. Never seen a flower from them.

Iris?

Is it in shade? Maybe put it somewhere sunnier, or in a pot so you try a few different spots, and give it a feed in autumn and spring.

I have wild iiris and it's not like that. The green bits are a bit tulip like.

Unfortunately can't smell it as it's at the bottom Of a sack with grass cuttings on top.

In my previous post I meant the bulb has a black covering.

I think these are old tulip bulbs that have gone blind

I agree. I have dug up a few of these over the years.
