new flower | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

Just popped up a few days ago and bloomed today. Appears to grow from bulbs. What is it?

Witchazel Master Identifier says:

That’s what we call them as well and the bloom stalks on mine should be popping out of the ground any day now.

Yes it is. I don’t know when they first came to the U.S.; but I have some on an old house site. There hasn’t been a house there for about 100 years; but they come back every fall.
