I started watching this plant last year when it appeared in my yard. The
basal leaves hugged the ground and I mowed around it. It never grew but
it never died, staying green this past winter. It started growing this
year and I've been watching the buds (it has several.) This morning it
bloomed and what a surprise - the petals look papery and the leaves are
bristle like. The flower looks like a tulip but the foliage doesn't look
like any tulip I've seen (or planted.)

Ideas?
