The larger bulb (with baby) is golf ball sized, the others grape sized. (4 on the left were pulled out 2 days ago- hence more yellow/dried out).  Growing for a year- no flowers or anything other than the green stems/leaves.  Could they be iris?  I bought a bag of cheap iris bulbs end of season 2 yrs ago, but the bulbs rotted.  They are the only thing that possibly got mixed into the pots these plants were in.  If I re-pot them, would they eventually flower- if indeed an iris?  If not- what are they?

    They look like Iris bulbs to me. 😊 

    I would replant them and let them
    grow on … however it may take another year or more before they’re ready to flower , so I’d pop them in a border rather than use up a container that you probably want for a display.

    I agree, could well be Iris bulbs, Dutch variety.
