    Me again...! After digging up a gooseberry shrub that was going nowhere fast, this plant was underneath. I planted native bluebells a few years back, but not where this plant is. Any ideas?! Many thanks in advance. Chris IMG_3431.jpeg

    Not bluebell in my opinion, may be Marsh Foxtail.

      Probably not a bluebell as all mine have died right back now, just a few brown seed heads lying about. All the leaves have withered and disappeared.

        I would think, if the leaves are three sided, then it would be Carex pendula.

              We have three huge lily type flowers in bloom. They measure about 9 inches from tip to tip and have the back yard smelling like a funeral home. My wife planted the bulbs last fall but has no idea of what they are, or where she got them.
