Hello out there. kk, ww and chrissy , are you there. I found a large lily looking plant in the garden. It was actually half hidden under a tree and some weeds that had escaped my eagle eye.
The clump is about the size of a good size agapanthus , approx 1 metre x 1 metre
The leaves are nice and green and strappy .
I probably noticed it and thought ,just another aggie as it is in a bit of the garden where the trees sort of take over and I don't plant there.
I saw flowers today which is what caught my eye. They are not right out yet but are odd looking. The petals are thick and look a bit fake and waxy. There is a green spot on each petal.
It must be something left from when hubby had 1st wife many moons ago.
Do I have something common or unusual ?
I will dig it up and move to a civilised part of the garden where it can be seen. To exist where it is and look so healthy, it must be hardy.
thanks for any help. Jean.
