Can someone please help to identify the mystery bulbs we have in our garden. We moved here 10 + years ago & theses bulbs were in a flower bed. They grow thick leaves in the spring which then blackens on the tips & never flower! We are reluctant to throw them out as they may thrive in a different environment. We have tried moving them to a different flower bed, but the same thing happened. I have hopefully added a photo. Thanks

Plant with the bulb about a third showing above the soil, as said in a South facing border with well drained soil. The damage there to me looks like frost burn.

Thank you for your comments they have been very helpful. We will try the suggestions & hopefully get some flowers soon!

Looks like Nerine bulbs. They should flower bright pink from Sept-Nov though you also more rarely get white and reddish ones.
Full sun next to a sunny south facing wall and they should flower.
