Well Thank you ! Do they normally grow fast , could be up to 30 flowers on it at the minute. It just poped up in an old garden bed I think i will leave it there now. Thanks for the help !

Lovely lily. Lilium longiflorum from the looks of it. Used in bridal bouquets if you know anyone getting married...

I don't mind them, I have a few around my place, but actually they have escaped backyard gardens and are now a common weed. Glyphosphate won't kill the bulb either. Lilium longiflorum.

AND my memory of these is: nuns in catholic convents always grew these - they were called 'St Joseph lillies" by us - maybe because they flowered at the time of St Joseph's feast day. March 19th. They are also called Easter lillies - because they bloom around Easter time too (which stretches from around the end of March to the middle-end of April)- and Catholic churches were often filled with them (as they were also filled with people then!!)on Easter Sunday to mark the end of the "cold" 'dark' days of lent (literally in the northern hemisphere - and metaphorically in the southern hemisphere).

They are lovely,
Kathy

I can't get this type of Lilies where i am, they're gorgeous to grow. I believe they are in blooming season now.

They are not a weed.
