Spotted this the other day...

I spotted this the other day but it completely mystified me as I'd know idea what it was, there appears to be a couple of small clumps of them in the scrub in semi shade

To me it looks very lily like but then not at the same time:hehe: the leaves have the same texture as a lilies anyway

 

There are probably a few things that look like that at this stage, but I would hazard a guess at hemerocallis - Day Lilly.

 

I agree with that - Day Lily

 

Yeah, that was my first thought too. Looks more healthy than mine though!

 

Well I'll let you know on there progress =] it's ever so strange as there growing on the top of a hill on the edge of a wood 0_o which is why I was so perplexed.

PS:When do they flower? July/August?

 

Whatever it is...it's a keeper!!! Lovely!

I moved to a new house/garden 18 months ago and finding all kinds of weird and wonderful things popping up here and there.

 

"When do they flower? July/August?"

I would say they start a bit earlier than that - June to August perhaps

 

Thanks, I'll put some photo's up for you all to have a gander to see what they look like:wink:

 

Looking forward to seeing what colour the flowers are if it is Hemerocallis

 

Yweah, we'll all want a root if its not the boring bog-standard day lilly!

 

you know these never flowered in the end... thought I'd have another look as someone pointed out to me the other day that just down the road was the first ever record of our native (arguable...) gladioli however looking at the picture again it looks far to fleshy:o

however it is the perfect conditions for it - heath-lend on the edge of a woodland copse surrounded by bracken =]

 

Aesculus - its always nice to have a follow up. But I am sorry it never flowered. It could be because it was its first year and will do better next year.

 

I dare-say I will probably never find out as my mum no longer lives on the Isle of Wight anymore:o although
