Not got a clue what this is...

Spotted growing practically under the hedge.



Any ideas as to what is is Cos I've looked around my garden and can't find any more, so pretty sure its a present from the birds.

Try St Bernard's Lily - Anthericum liliago. A "wild" plant but also grown in gardens.

Have a look at this link - http://rareplants.co.uk/product.asp?...=180&P_ID=2782 - it shows a clump and there's a small picture that you can enlarge of just the flower.

A web search will bring up others.

Liked your shot. Wouldn't mind this appearing in my hedge....

Cheers, Chris.

I wouldn't have known what it is but a lovely shot caught with half the buds open and half closed

Thanks every one.

Chris - It definately looks like one.. the info says 60-80cm tall, this one is no where near as tall, so I'm assuming its a baby.. It was however, a beautiful find.

Heres just the single open flower.

Re: Not got a clue what this is...

That's one of the things I like about this site ... post a picture of something you need identifying ... and someone will ID it.

I could often do with a flora and fauna expert when walking as some of the wildlife (and plants) can be quite strange. Only on Sunday one of my fellow walkers (a youngster at 88) was being very selective picking white 'fluffy' flowers. Apparently just a few at a certain stage of growth can be used as a natural antiseptic and clotting aid.
