A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? Who am I???

I put this in the main forum here yesterday, but only 1 person responded, and that was not what this plant is. So I am trying again here.

Pulled this up along the roadside, and am hoping I can get it to grow in my garden. There were lots of clumps - even growing in some people's front lawns. The flowers are small - about the size of a quarter to a half dollar at most, when open. They close up at night.

(the rounded leaves do not belong to this plant - the leaves are straight and grass-like.)

Thanks so much, Joclyn and Bill! At first I didn't think that was correct, as mine do not have a large flower stalk like the one Bill has pictured, with many buds on it - this one has one bud on each stem.

But I did an image search and found there are different varieties. Good to put a name to this beauty.

Also good to see you, Joclyn!

We have star of bethlaham but not like that one, ours don't flower till latter in the summer and tend to grow about 2.5-3 feet

Click Rain Lily for a Google description. They grew all around my neighborhood when I was a kid. Haven't seen any in ages though.

they are highly poisonous.
