    Looking at the leaves and the seed pod, I think it is a bulb, which has flowered for this year. Cut the seed pods off, and let it die down naturally. It will flower again next spring, at which you you may get a better identification.

    You've got me baffled.  The seedpods look to me like foetid iris, but that has dull stiff leaves, not shiny floppy ones.  I eagerly await suggestions from the clever clogs!

    It is an Iridacea, anyway, because of the seed pods (hope this helps image ).

    Look like immature Hemerocallis pods ! Maybe wrong but who knows .image

    That looks like a Hemerocallis with gall midge issue. Makes the bud swell and fail to open.

    Think it's a very early flowering variety ; they are the immature seed-pods .

  • i thought it might be Hemerocallis as well, but I am not sure.

    Whatever it is, it isn't a weed!
