Irises?

BINGO! hohotread February 28 2006, 20:35:37 UTC

Yes, they are indeed irises of some kind. I know, because they are the plant whose survival my dog and I were constantly threatening when I was a kid.
"DON'T TROW THE BALL BY THE FENCE, THE DOG WILL TRAMPLE MY IRISES!"
You can just see the neighbor's dog yearning to destroy those irises, too. Dogs hate irises.
...

Maybe I'm projecting.

they seem to be growing too much in clumps. Irises don't usually clump like that. I'd bet daffodils or possibly tulips, but they don't look like they are as tall as those usually are.

Are they perhaps some sort of non-flowering herb? do they have a strong scent if you crush a leaf?

They look like tulips to me. Guess you'll find out for sure in about a month or so.

I'm guessing they're an odd sort of cactus. it's just a guess. not a very good one.
