Rules
Hi! Any idea on what those are? I found them in my raised bed while preparing it for the spring season. They look like little onions but have the texture of potatoes.
I live in Georgia, USA.
I feel like this needs a standard-issue ”don’t eat it” bot
Lol yeah. There's a German saying "was der Bauer nicht kennt, isst er nicht", that is, "what the farmer doesn't know, he won't eat".
Usually said as a phase to excuse picky eating but it does, in broader terms, have some wisdom behind it.
I certainly won't eat it.
That’s right up there with “Periods of starvation are when we discovered all the world’s great foods.”
I mean really, who was the first person to try cheese?
My vote goes to grape hyacinth too.
Hmm that be quite pretty. There are still some left around the area of the raised bed which I guess I'll just allow to flower and see what happens. Will post an update if I remember.
FWIW, seconded. These look basically identical the grape hyacinth bulbs in my yard.
You can check by making a tea out of them. I don't recommend drinking it (it's mostly just "green" flavor), but it works as a pH indicator. If you add a bit of lemon juice, it should turn pink!
If they smell garlicky they're probably Allium vineale.
Most likely it's Allium canadense. Quite tasty to cook with or put in salads. My grandmother used to make a jam with them that we ate on toast.
Ran your photo through a plant detection app (Picture This) and got the result Star of Bethlehem. They do grow in your area, and do be careful because the bulbs are toxic!
If these are indeed Star of Bethlehem, you should be able to confirm the identification when they bloom. The flowers would look like this: 
So this is by now about 1 month over due. But you were indeed correct. These were Stars of Bethlehem. Relevant picture attached.
Pretty flowers and closure. Two of my favorite things. Crazy that the AI could detect exactly what they were based on the original image. Thanks for following up!
