Notholirion bulbiferum is a bulbous member of the lily family (Liliaceae) from the Himalayas that flowers in April to May. Individual bulbs produce basal leaves through autumn and winter, then a single flowering event before the original bulb dies back after setting offsets. The bulb is protected by a tunic and propagates by those offsets rather than repeated flowering by the parent bulb.
