    Hello to everybody I found a plant and what I think it is most interesting is that it had a kind of bulb. I thought the plant was simply an onion but once I made a hole and I found the bulbs I realized I had no idea about that plant.

    Hopefully somebody here will know which plant is.

    I found it in Spain, at 1000 meters high, it is winter but we have had one week with nice weather, like 20ºC Max, and it looks like spring already.

    Also I would like to ask if it is an edible plant.

    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks bjo!

    It is difficult to know if it is or not that plant because I cannot find many images. What I will do is wait some days and then I will come back to the forest to see if that plant has developed flowers. In that case it will be much more easy to confirm your thoughts.

    After going there I will write a post with extra photos to comment here and talk about its uses.

    According to this website it is an edible plant and you can do glue, it is interesting.

    Hello,

    Finally I was lucky. I have seen hundreds of this plants but none of them had flowers. After some time I found 4 that had flower, I took some pictures. I hope that helps to guess what plant is.

    Thanks!

    Not quite flowering yet -- those are only the flower buds.
