Default Unknown Bulb: Do You Recognize This Flower?

No, little LeeAnn. Its another species of Lachenalia. Note that the outer
three tepals are shorter than the inner three, a typical character of the
genus. In Hyacinthus, all six tepals are of the same length. You really need
to work really hard on developing your powers of observation. It would
really come in handy since you e-mail address says you are not of this world
anyway.

Looks like a mutant hyacinth to me, maybe an underdeveloped plant that was
mixed in w/your other bulbs?
