If it is a lily of the nile, I have several and it looks just like them. However, they have never bloomed, thus I've never seen this stage. The leaves look identical.
I thought pineapple first, but now from the picture Cher posted I agree with her, a friend gave me this plant this year and it is beautiful ! I don't know the name either, it's a bulb
LOL this post has been fun! @ Decorating Den.... Don't know what it is. I don't think I will figure it out until it actually fully blooms. I think from all the suggestions here I have gotten it's an Allium or Bromeliad of some sort. It is very slow growing. I took these pics last week and the "button" is maybe an inch taller. I will keep you all posted.
This is Peruvian Scilla, Cher M. from Buffalo, N.Y put up a great photo...some Hyacinths look like this too, and the other I.D. posts identify it to similar looking plants, but it is Not Agapanthus, leaves similar individually, but do not grow in a whorl and the flower stalk grows up way above the leaves, and the flower develops over time, This is a Scilla.
Yes they do, Tina M. I think it will be the Pervian Scilla. But I won't know for sure until it blooms. A watch flower does not bloom! LOL I can't wait to see what it does.
Hi Jan M.... Yes we are almost neighbors! Nice to meet you too. I will give you a shout out next time I am heading your way! @ Erica I will be posting pics when it blooms. It is so slow growing, its not much bigger than it was in these pics.
also known as Eucomis, great ornamental here is a link with photos of different Eucomis http://www.bdlilies.com/eucomis.html
it's def not a pineapple, yucca, amarylis, not a succlent
