I bought this plant 4 years ago. I forget where I bought it and what is it's name. I usually buy native plant that can survive in my zone 5b of central Ohio. This whole time it never bloomed I thought it was an iris that wasn't blooming. I only recalled buying this plant when it finally bloomed this year. Facebook plant people told me this is crinum but it has now survived 4 winters. Can someone help me id?

Crinum Lily
They can survive zone 5 depending on planting location and depth.
The flowers resemble Hymenocallis species such as caribaea, but I think those only are supposed to be hardy to about zone 7.
I see that Hymenocallis occidentalis is hardy to zone 5, so you might want to check out that one.
