They kind of look like alstroemeria leaves.

It looks like a lily bulb to me. But I may be wrong

### Sunny commented on 2025-04-13

It’s hard to see the foliage. The photo is too dark. Post a picture looking top down on the leaves in good light.

Does this help? Not near it right now but I took these before I put it in water.

Thanks for y’all’s responses
