Hello friends,

I planted some assorted bulbs that have blosumed this year. Below is a picture of one that came up - and has stayed up!
I have no idea of what they are. I'd like to buy more of these bulbs. They cheer up the whole yard!!
Thank you!

Not quite sure what it is, does not look like a bulb to me. I'm sure someone will be able to identify it for you.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

A dahlia? First bulb that comes to my mind with a possible daisy like flower.
Plant it and they will come.

I agree, it looks like a dahlia. They grow from tubers. Unlike bulbs such as tulips and daffodils the dahlia foliage stays green all summer until it freezes down in the fall.

A good photo of the foliage would likely clinch the ID.
