Is Bombillas used for plants?

Hola a todos.

I don't known is "bombilla" used to translate "bulb" of potatoes or not. All the means I can find are bulb is used for electricity, not for plants. as the roots of plant that can be used such as potatoes or groundnuts.

The flowers bloom and wither in a morning, and there are bulbs after that. Las flores florecen y se marchitan en una mañana, y hay bombillas después de eso.

Is the sentence is translated correctly? Thank.

No. Bombillas means light bulbs. Un bulbo means a bulb of potatoes or other plants.

Las plantas florecen y se marchitan en un día, quedando sólo los bulbos.

Bombilla can also mean a drinking straw used to drink mate.
