    Yeah, once again in my haste to post and then get back to whatever I was doing!

    Just goes to show the "check twice cut once" adage holds true in many things

    no. my solomons seal are up now. No, sorry, my dear, this is a lily. Depending on the climate, they will bloom around July lst in my area. We don't know where the OP is, but obviously if this is a new pic, it is somehwhere very warm.

    Not a day lily.
    Although it looks like a big version of a lily of the valley.

    On closer inspection of the plant in my garden, I do believe maO641 is correct. It is a solomon's seal. The plant in OPs pic is further along then my plants.

    Hi Folks. I am in Guernsey, Channel Islands. About 100 miles South of UK. The area is facing South. This has turned into a bit of a puzzle? Hmm at first I thought they were snowdrops on a tree, but that hasn't produced any results. I will wait for them to properly flower and post again. Thanks Colin

    Why don't you just Google 'solomons seal' ? This will show you all the growth changes to flowering. It is an unusual flowering plant. I use mine for background to hostas.
