Don't know what this is. I had to pull some out and don't know whether i should replant the bulbs. Here is a shot of the bulbs i pulled out and what it looks like in the ground, please ignore the onion weed flowering beautifully amongst it. I'd really appreciate it if someone knows what it could be. I've asked my learned gardener friends but to no availo_O.View attachment 15205 View attachment 15206

The leaves look very much like those of Amaryllis belladonna, a bulbous geophyte native to the Western Cape of South Africa.
It is also the type species of the Amaryllidaceae. and is commonly known as as Naked Ladies, due to its beautiful and fragrant flowers blooming in late Summer or Fall, long after the leaves have withered.
