It's a plant I love, but, unfortunately, as it's rather common, people tend not to appreciate it... Silly! Here, in some areas, people used to put its bulb on a stick and place it next to vegetables in the garden as it was supposed to prevent some insects to lay eggs on the leaves...

There is a white flowering form also. It's very hardy and good under trees. Love your blog.<br />cheers IanFlorez Nurseryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00675642756554004737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-18001248053704226072010-11-10T06:08:28.468+11:002010-11-10T06:08:28.468+11:00I don't know what it is, but it's lovely!

Sort of relieves you of the responsibility doesn't it?... you can feel free to dig it up if you don't like it, rather than persevere with it just because you paid money for it.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-27664285317954482262010-11-09T05:28:20.348+11:002010-11-09T05:28:20.348+11:00I agree with Heidi!

Either that, or it could be some sort of hybrid of a muscari. More likely that it is a type of agapanthus though.Gay Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316994233366550046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-64982516295993977012010-11-08T20:58:06.708+11:002010-11-08T20:58:06.708+11:00Hello, I have just discovered your lovely blog via...Hello, I have just discovered your lovely blog via Jeans link! It's nice to 'meet' a fellow Victorian garden blogger :) <br />You may have other comments waiting for approval that have already said this, but my guess is that your mystery plant is a variety of agapanthus, but I'm no expert ;) Cheers, Heidi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
