Their roots remind me of sweet potatoes. This is our first spring on this old property, and there are clumps of a very pretty dark-green plant somewhat resembling daffodill foliage. But the flowers are small, bell-shaped and white, reminding me of a northern plant called lilly of the valley. But that's not what these are, and I don't recognize them...
