any ideas?

Hi

I'm a newbie (to both gardening and this forum) and I wondered whether anyone may be able to help me identify the bulb/corm in the attached photo? I found it buried in my lawn when I was digging a hole for a Leucanthemum...one of the few things I've planted that I can't eat

Would be great if anyone has any ideas on what it may be.

Thanks in advance

 

Welcome beckless.
It is the corm of a Cyclamen.
The round balls are the seed pods.

Agree with Silver Surfer - it's a cyclamen.

 

That's brilliant, thanks so much for your help. I've replanted it - it's great to know what it is!
