i have dark green clumps in my yard that look like grass but when pulled there are bulbs attached almost like little onions. The green part and bulbs do not have any distinct fragrance.

  • Could you post a picture? What area do you live in? – matt. Apr 19 '16 at 20:43

    Have you seen any flowers on these plants? If so, what did they look like? – Niall C. Apr 19 '16 at 20:57

  • I wonder if it's in the [grape hyacinth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscari_latifolium) family. I have lots of them. [This page](http://www.guide-to-houseplants.com/grape-hyacinths.html) has a drawing showing what the bulb looks like. That would depend, though, especially on the flower, so it's just a thought at the moment! – Sue Saddest Farewell TGO GL Apr 19 '16 at 22:23
  • Sounds like it could be either [Onion Weed](https://www.google.com/search?q=onion+weed&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS664US664&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5wI7vipzMAhVNwWMKHSL-DVUQ_AUIBygB&biw=1920&bih=979) or possibly even [Star of Bethlehem](https://www.google.com/search?q=Star+of+Bethlehem&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS664US664&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwig_NnTipzMAhUPz2MKHVeSBowQ_AUIBygB&biw=1920&bih=979#tbm=isch&q=star+of+bethlehem+weed&imgrc=7O80KVBx2tVTYM%3A) if it has white flowers. – matt.

    Many, many flowering bulbs fit this description. Leave them alone and you might find out what type of flower they are. – Ecnerwal Apr 20 '16 at 02:08
  • Please update your question and specifically ask the question you are trying to get answered. It seems that you are asking for help in identifying the plant and if so state it in so many words. Pictures would help as well – JStorage Nov 18 '16 at 20:39
  • Sounds like sedge.https://www.google.com/search?q=sedge+roots&rlz=1C1QJDB_en&espv=2&biw=1067&bih=540&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwigid6D3rvQAhUY92MKHWMIDJcQ7AkIKQ Check this out. – stormy Nov 22 '16 at 06:30
