Kristina S on Apr 11, 2012If it lacks hairs, it might be a daylily. If it has hairs on its stalk, it might be spiderwort (widow's tears). This is sold in garden centers, but is invasive and I pull them out (they tend to break off at the ground, so spraying them might be best.Helpful Reply

Marcy P on Apr 11, 2012It might be a yarrow lilly looking at pictures on line. This is a perenial lilly that comes back every year. There are so many different types of lilly but not a day lilly for sure. There are even bulbs in lilly form so check to see if it has a bubl down at the root base just move some dirt back.Helpful Reply

Kathy S on Apr 11, 2012It looks sort of like a bromeliad but it isn't very green. The way the leaves cover each other on the stalk looks like that of a bromeliad. But where's the color?Helpful Reply

Debi M on Apr 11, 2012I agree. My mom raised a lot of bromeliads, but I have never seen one this pale. Is it not getting sun? They need morning sun (6 hours a day) and water from the topHelpful Reply

Bob H on Apr 13, 2012It would help if we knew where this image was taken. It looks like an Allium and I'm guessing a beautiful leek, Allium porrum.Helpful Reply

Sherrie S on Apr 13, 2012Since nobody really knows the answer I think it looks like a very nice plant I would want and it is a bulb (to the best of my knowledge). Please post when the flower blooms. It looks like something that grows wild in my backyard & it is beautiful like a lily.Helpful Reply

Teresa C on Apr 13, 2012BINGO! Bob H, I think you are exactly right. I now recall planting an Allium bulb there last year and this will be the 1st time I get to see what it looks like. I am in zone 7B Willow Spring NC. Thank you so much! I can sleep now! :) Thanks to all that responded. I will post another pic once it blooms. This is such a wonderful site with so many great participants!Helpful Reply

Petra Sacco on May 15, 2015it looks like leek from my vegetable garden judging by the way the leaves are set on the stem, but this seems to be more elegant plant, so even though I don't exactly know how Allium porrum looks like, I have also the feeling Bob H is right.Helpful Reply

Mike on Apr 30, 2016To quote my dad, "A weed is just a mis-placed flower." If you like it where it is... it's a flower. If you don't... it's a weed. "A rose in a corn field is a weed." Another one of his favorites.Helpful Reply
