    hey i just checked out the plant 'Calypso bulbosa' and i just wanted to say that its not that one ...mine is a lot more small and the whole plant (except the flowers that are purple pink and yellow) is turquoise and so are the leaves ...
    but you were quite close it kinda looks similar to the one you pointed so thanks for trying really since myself i dont know a lot about plants....I appreciate your response

    First one looks like it is a type of dandelion, (can't spell tech name) 2nd one looks like it belongs to the legumes, peas, beans, etc.
