Question
My wife recently passed %26 I was working in her flower beds. I dug up some bulbs. I don't know what they are. The appear to look like onions, split in the middle, about 2"s long%26 2's wide, %26 sort of flat. They are a whitish color. I think they may be peony because my wife liked them. If this information helps, please give me an idea as to what they are.

Thank you

Answer
I'm very sorry to hear about your wife.

I think you probably have daffodil bulbs. They are the common whitish bulbs that seem to nestle together into a round bulb made up of (usually) 2 parts. Peonies grow from a fibrous rootstock. Also, Peonies would still have a great deal of foliage and perhaps even flowers at this time of year, while daffodils would be done.

Other possibilities are lily or allium bulbs, but, again, these would likely still have foliage on them.

You can replant them, one bulb piece to a hole, about 3 inches deep, with the narrower end up, anywhere that will not be mowed in early spring. They should go in the ground anytime between now and the first frost.

By the way, in case you have a dog or something, daffodil bulbs are poisonous.
