G'day Everyone, i have been a fan of this site for years now, and i want to thankyou all in advance, for helping me in the past, without you even knowing ;)
Can someone please help me identify this? I am leaning towards a ginger, going via the stem and leaves, yet it looks like a hybrid lily?
TIA

man! that is one evil looking bloom.tending to steer towards 'daylily' or even a hippe'[from the dark side] as they adopt the appearance of a lilium,when grown to perfection..needless to say,dont feed it after midnight...great pic
Haych, have a look at these. Could be like yours. I bought one a while ago but it hasn't flowered as yet. very unusual.

It does look a bit like a toad lily, but its actually Ferraria, a member of the Iris family.
Alistair, you also solved my problem. I thought I had a toad lily but now I remember the name and on looking it up, I recognise the bulbs. It has never grown. Maybe likes more heat.
Good luck with yours Haych.
Jean.
