Sprots

Question

These sprouts started appearing everywhere in my garden. I was wondering if these are lily sprouts or just some random weeds. Please tell me what they are if you know.

Answer 1

I think you have lily of the valley. The flower consists of small white bells that have a lovely scent. At one time it was widely planted as a groundcover for shady spots. It is hard to get rid of, however. If you pull, you get the "pip" but not the root that connects them all.
