Bulb plants have the ability to build up a reserve of nutrients, which then allows them to disappear at the end of the season and flower again the following season and thus continue their vegetative cycle for several years. Thus, the bulb plant stores reserves underground in order to maintain its different cycles.
We often tend to describe as "bulbous" all plants that are composed of an underground reserve organ, which allows them to survive from one year to the next. Bulb plants are therefore part of the large family of perennial plants.
