  • Question

    Hi, hoping to find out what this is. I've not seen it before in the 10 years at my house in Pelham, NH. Location is about 150 from river, about 75ft above water level. I've found 3 of these bulbs in the past two weeks. The first two I found were just laying on open ground. The third was at the base of a leafy plant, photo attached. Seems like it has a root system. Outer skin is like a potato. Same texture.

    Dear kaiacheung, Go Botany is currently experiencing a glitch where multiple images that are uploaded are all the same image. If you would be willing to attach these images to an email and send them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org, I would be happy to examine them and try to help you with your question.
