Looks Like A Crocus Bulb 2 me DD?

Makes me think of a bees nest . . . .

begonia tuber,, ;o)

Noooo, keep going, lol

A Gladiolia Bulb Maybe? :)

tree fern?

Not a clue..

I have no idea, but Arlene's suggestion looks promising....

fern but woodland fern

Not a cone is it Dd?

Gladiolia i think cos i bought some to and they look very similar ......

Yes, I bet it is MB.....I was trying to work out the grain on the table and thought it must be larger than a corm......

no idea dd, cmon now tell us :o)

It looks like the top of a tree fern with the dead leaves removed,but is the plant dormant ? I don't think you would have bought a dead one lol :)

Anemone....

Can you at least give an idea of scale ? :)

She's teasing us....c'mon, we're dying to know if anyone is right!! :-))

Crocosmia corm?

Please tell by 10 o'clock as I'm past my sell-by time then . . .please.

Its an alocasia bulb....or a colocasia.....

realy alice, im going to look it up cause dont know what that is lol just looked, i like these elephants ear plants, tropical, im looking to get one at the moment,

They can take up quite a bit of room San.....

yes i gather that alice,, been reading, would love one for my new area but its keeping it over winter thats the problem lol, i need a bigger house and garden and greenhouse :o))

Thanks for being such good sports, there is one outright winner,.......and it is..........Amblealice!! it is a colocasia, I was just about to tell you how big it was, it is the size of a large orange. I was amazed when I saw it too, hope it grows as it cost me a fiver!!!! had to look on the internet to see which way up to plant it lol, the instructions on the packet said grow in water or mud?

Well Done Amblealice :) I really enjoyed playing this DD :)

Colocasia . . .would never have guessed it ! It's enormous !

Thank you (blush).....I have several of these lovely plants....yes San, you will need that greenhouse or a conservatory to keep 'em in over winter.
DD....they need a lot of water when they are growing....but I woudn't start them off in it. I remember when I got my first bulb, it took a while to get going. I suggest you pot it up with the top just below the surface of the compost, and give it some bottom heat if you can......best of luck with it!

thanx alice, will have to clear my spare room out then i can get some of these lovely plants that need over wintering :o))

Thanks Amblealice, hubby just planted it, will keep everything crossed.
J glad you enjoyed my little quiz. if I get anything else a bit odd will do another one.
Sanbaz you know what they say nothing ventured...........so give it a go, there are so many knowledgeable folk on here to help us.

yep your right dotty i think i may get one and try :o))

Will look out for the photos......

We all will San......

;o)

Well done AA,must admit never heard of it !! Look forward to seeing new growth on it DD, good luck :))

Ah-ha, so now we know! Look forward to seeing the pictures of it growing. :-))

oh for pity..I would have never guessed it was so large..lol...you trickster..lol..
sounds very interesting!

Trickster Moi? it will be more interesting if it grows !!!

Amblealice, well-done! Didn't have any idea what it was. DD, looking forward to seeing this plant growing! Do you know what variety it is?

Uma it is esculenta Coco?

Oh, DD! It's a gorgeous plant! Where are you planning to grow it?

Uma it will go in the jungle part of the garden, you obviously know it then?

Yes, I know...:) Will it be potted or...?

Is it related to the African Mask Plant?

Uma it will go in the ground, ( if it grows, ha ha) I am watching it daily, giving it some bottom heat as suggested.

A back slash??? That's all I see! Lol!

I finally found the answer to my question about the African Mask Plant..
It is and Alocasia 'Black Velvet'. so it is related..I thought it looked familiar...after loving the African Mask Plant I had so much....

Catfinch glad you got to he bottom of it...........Balcony...what?

Fingers crossed, DD!

And legs too Uma.....

Lol :) It'll be OK, DD!

Bless you.....§:+)))
