They remind me of Oxalis but not sure if they are bulbs or not, interesting to see how they develop.

If they are Oxalis deppei, 'Iron Cross', then they're NOT invasive, they're very reliable, and come up late every spring - so don't think you've lost them. The flowers are salmon pink. The leaves get a dark mark on the middle - like a cross. I think that's what they're likely to be, as they get sold in amongst selections of bulbs - I got mine that way.
