Pretty little plant- I tried looking it up to no avail though- the closest I came up with is " Zephyranthes". This has many different types under it. You may want to try the "name this plant" forum. Goodluck!

I could not find it either, but as I type this I have on my right a picture of a plant and it says "Need a Plant ID?"
Share a photo here (here in blue). White question overlay on the picture.

Perhaps the word you're looking for is ephemeral, plants that go through a complete lifecycle in a brief period when conditions are optimal, and then the above-ground parts die back until its next season.

Your plant resembles Ipheion uniflorum, a/k/a star flower. Do the leaves smell like onions? That's one ID feature of star flower.

Cercis141,
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and I think you hit the nail on the head.
I think the word " ephemeral," is just what I was looking for. I've checked it out and it describes exactly the way my plants behave.
I also ran the names and found photos that looked exactly the same as my plants.
Although the leaves are rather limp now, because the plants are going underground, I can smell a hint of onion.
Now that I have the tools, I can search for the plants.
Thanks again.
Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it.

You're welcome!
