Question
This plant NEVER blooms nor does it have anything other than leaves. It has a purplish/pink stem that is rather translucent and reminds me of plants growing in wet areas. I have tried to take better photos with the hopes of someone being able to identify the plant or point in a genre that may contain related plants. It is growing under two 80 foot Pine trees and has been there for many years. It is truly a Spring plant because the it only lasts until mid-May or early June.
Answer
ShaineinVT, good morning. You can try to confirm the answer that we have discussed previously. If you unearth some of the soil around the stem (without completely excavating the underground storage organ), you should see something like what is found in this image: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/Lilium/Lilium_tsingtauense_bulb_PW1.jpg. The bulbs are made up of overlapping and crowded bulblets. If you can get an image we could confirm the genus as a starting place for study.
