Crysalis or egg case??

Tucson, AZ(Zone 9a)

I found these on a plant today and have no idea what they are. To me, they look like either a crysalis of some sort. I don't know what the name of the plant is, that they are on. A friend had given me a bulb, I planted it...and now these things are on it.

Second picture. Obviously different stages of whatever this thing is

These are chrysalis of butterflies, likely in the family Pieridae (whites and yellows), that includes the well-known cabbage butterfly.

That's what I was sort of thinking. But I didn't know for what. I have my yard planted for butterflies, but I'm unfimiliar with that one. Never saw it before. Thank you so much.
