Bulb shapes and sizes
Bulbous plants have thickened underground storage organs commonly called bulbs. Not all bulbous plants produce true bulbs, other specialized underground storage organs include corms, tubers, tuberous roots and rhizomes.

Not all bulbous plants produce true bulbs, other specialized underground storage organs include corms, tubers, tuberous roots and rhizomes. Special care should be taken when dividing dahlia tuberous roots to ensure that each tuberous root has a piece of crown bearing a healthy bud.

Solving Colchicum Problems
Prevent this by laying down a mulch layer over the corms right after the ground freezes in the fall. Moles tunnel through beds in search of earthworms and insects, but mice also use their tunnels to get at the corms.

Solving Gladiola Problems
Bulb mites are about 1/50 inch long, barely visible to the unaided eye. They attack below ground on gladiolus corms which become hard and light chocolate-brown colored. The dried corm pulp breaks up into corky fragments, on which hundreds of mites feed.

Dr. Bob's Gardening Tips - UF/IFAS Environmental Horticulture
A "true bulb" is a compressed stem (basal plate) bearing a growing point or flower bud and enclosed by thick, fleshy scales called bulb scales. Some true bulbs such as narcissus, amaryllis and tulip are protected from drying and mechanical injury by dry and membranous outer scales called a tunic.
