Flower Gardening–True Bulbs
Hello,
Here is more information on bulbs.
True Bulbs
True bulbs are compressed stems with leaves surrounding the apical, or top, bud. The leaves are the structures that store food for the plant—remaining swollen until planted. Bulbs that have been in storage for long periods of time are often shriveled and dry because they have used all of their resources before being planted. Tulips, Narcissus, lilies, hyacinth and Allium are all true bulbs.

Great Gardening!
