Bright yellow bulbs/corms. I've been asked to clean up a group of planters in a local pub. Amongst the weeds and 'other detritus' I've found a lot of bright yellow bulbs/corms, segmented almost like garlic, which the locals call 'lilies'. Help ... !!

Martagon lily bulbs are yellow so they might be those. But re plant them and see what you get as Derek suggests.

Wow - about 10 minutes for expert opinions!! Thanks, both. I will confidently claim they are Martagons then blame the landlord if they aren't! Many thanks, Derek & Seabg - hope you are both well and enjoying the first half-decent spring we've had for a while.

Hi, they probably are lillies, the bulbs can look a yellowy colour, and they are segmented like garlic, plant them in a deep pot, 4 to 6 " deep, and see what comes up, Derek.
