Not really a bulb, no, ::) but it has lumpy underground storage organs... that's close enough for me! 8)

Wow!  What a glorious flower, and such a clear pic too!!  So much detail in a small picture  Great stuff!!  :)

Unlike Fermi, I've never heard of it before.... but I can understand why it is on Fermi's want list.  :o
Cheers.
