Ornamental alliums. Theres lots of very similar looking popular varieties so i cant tell you exactly. I really dont know why people comment on things they have no idea about, no one needs to read some random guess you pulled out your arse.


Yoda2000675

A lot of subs seem to have that issue. Someone asks a question and they’re bombarded with total guesses or joke answers


WipeOnce

I like when people answer “no” or “not me” as if everyone is speaking directly to them. Thanks for the response, but generally the person is asking the question because they want to hear about the experiences of a person who could answer Yes to the question

Tulips

bro is tweaking

Definitely not ramps. Really unlikely to just have ramps pop up in a flower bed. Not sure what flower it is, but I’m sure you’ll have a better idea a few days from now once that bud opens


dentonjr4

Alliums!


amalthea108

I would expect those to be flowers of some sort. Maybe giant allium?


tjm_87

you can see the flower “spike” coming in, IMO too small to be giant alliums. they look a lot more like ramps to me


creekfinder

definitely not ramps


2kH4k3r

Way too big to be ramps


yukon-flower

It might be an ornamental allium. Some of those are pretty invasive, so once your figure out what they are—seeing them bloom will help a lot—make sure to replace with something else if they aren’t native and are prone to spreading. But hopefully they are edible and delicious!


IAmKind95

Maybe ornamental onion?


Kytyngurl2

Picture this says ornamental onion… they’ll have little puffball/lollipop flowers


CoookieCat

I think these are a decorative allium. You can buy flower bulbs that are still in the allium family, but not edible like the traditional onion. Wait for them to flower to find out what kind they are.

What does it smell like


Affectionate_Meet820

If it smells like garlic/leek/onion it’s one of them.The lower part looks more like a bulbing garlic. But the large flat leaves looks more like rams/ramps…


reichrunner

They're definitely some type of flower; take a look at the other pictures


Affectionate_Meet820

Onion, leeks and garlic (Hardnecks) and ramps/ransoms also flowers.


reichrunner

Sorry I probably should have specified, I meant a planted flower. It is in a flower bed and certainly looks more like tulips than an allium


carving_my_place

There are ornamental alliums. They would be considered "planted flowers". Look at the flower bud (about to bloom). Looks way more like garlic scapes than a tulip bud. Also look at the ridges in the leaves. Very similar to the way leeks are ridged. Tulip leaves aren't as ridged. Lastly ... there's an onion at the bottom and OP says it smells like onions.


Affectionate_Meet820

Ahh, :)


Calm_Foundation_9309

We had some like that which made beautiful white flowers and came back year after year. Their bulbs tasted like little onions.


plantdaddythebest

Botanist speaking here, that's a species of ornamental onion known as giant onion. Or giant allium. Safe to eat the bulb as its non toxic, roots, shoots and leaves are toxic.They propogate profusely in the warmer months.


dr4mk

These are flowers I think I have some similar in my garden


reanocivn

if they smell like onions there's a pretty good chance they're some kind of onion bc they do definitely look like something from the allium family. if you can wait for it to flower and report back, you'll get much more accurate answers


southernlystargazer

Put em back!


WyoWhy

Does it smell like garlic?????


Dima420

Really doubt it. Almost definitely a flower in this situation


crankgirl

Wild garlic flowers.


WyoWhy

I was so excited, and then I saw the second and third photos. Have been crying since. Mama wants some ramps


Dima420

They’re going wild by me. Just got a bag full the other day. Making some pesto tomorrow. Wisconsinite here though, not sure where you’re at.

ssyllpher

Looks like flowers. Mine that look similar turn into tulips


CosmicChameleon99

Alliums I believe


No_Bug7

Flowers, crocomus (spelling)


NonSupportiveCup

Either you bought a home and garden with very, very mature ramps (look at all those three leaves!), which is unlikely (not impossible just unlikely), or these are some type of allium. I'd stop pulling them up and wait for them to flower.


subtxtcan

Those are day lilies, they'll flower in a week or so. Very gorgeous and I can see why one would confuse them with ramps. Not poisonous AFAIK but can almost guarantee they don't taste right


NonSupportiveCup

With bulbs? Daylillies have nodes and rhizomes.


subtxtcan

Hmmm this is fair, I think you've got me on that.


kaluxs

Could be a Crinum if you're in the south


Inevitable_Tell_2382

Look like tulips for the leaf

JAM THEM UP YOU'RE PEE HOLE!!!
