There are hundreds of "things" growing in my garden. They are like thick
(say 1/2 inch average) single blades of grass with vertical slight ridges on
them. When I pull them up there is a single brown bulb attached to the end
of each. Could they be crocosmia? If so then how have they got here - I have
a few lots on the garden but they have not sprouted yet so can not compare
them to these. If they are not crocosmia any ideas what they could be? TIA,

Sounds like them. The previous owner of my garden obviously liked them
and had them everywhere. I think they're great in hedgerows, but
prefer the selected cultivars in the garden. I got rid of all of them
when we first moved here (5 years ago), but seedlings still keep
appearing.
