    Can you tell me what this plant is? It looks like it is growing out of a small bulb. It grew up out of my hibiscus tree pot.

    Answer

    Dear Wendy, good morning. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. While we are happy to entertain all botanical questions, cultivated species can originate for all over the world and may not be known to us. That all written, the plant may be an oak seedling, but it would be easier to identify it once it has grown more and the leaves have expanded further. Best wishes.
