Title: Mystery bulb fruits
Post by: Tiggrx on December 14, 2013, 08:22:03 AM

I have just moved into a new house and have been trying to make a list of all the plants in the garden to have been stumped by a few.

This one seems to have been an autumn flowering bulb, currently in fruit and with leaves sprouting. Could it be Amaryllis belladonna? It is a little chunkier than the Nerines which are still flowering further along the same bed.

Thanks for any help
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
They look like Amaryllis belladonna seed pods to me,
cheers

The mottling on the leaves is true or a photo defect?

It's a photo defect - the leaves are evenly green.
