After yanking out landscaping timbers around an old neglected flowerbed, these popped up. They are about 6-8 inches tall from the ground to the tip of the petals. The leaves make me think of Tulips.

About this Plant ID Gallery

There are many reasons why gardeners--even seasoned ones--need help identifying a plant now and then. Maybe you inherited a garden during a move to a new home, received an unknown division from a friend, found a random volunteer in the corner of a bed, or lost plant tag. Maybe you knew once, and now you just can't remember.

Luckily, Fine Gardening readers are here to help you ID unknown plants in your garden.
