Beautiful white flowers during the day that close as the sun sets. Difficult to identify from grass until the blooms appear - or unless you dig and discover their tiny bulbs.
I've watched them grow and thrive this spring, but don't know what they're called. I also have a few available for exchange, if anyone's interested.
I have these too and was thinking to post a photo to ask what they are. If you find out, please let me know! I divided a non-blooming previous-owner clump, thinking they were crocus, and then the bloomed just a month or so later as a nice surprise. They're cute, huh?
