J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Its a type of lily...personally i think it may have been planted by human hand...looks far too ornamental to have occurted there naturally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoopdog 1,256 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 looks more like the orchid family to me the flowers do look lily like but the stem orchids plus a lot of orchids do hang upside down like those .. iam only guessing .......as my superb knowledge on wild life dosnt really stretch as far as exotic plants ..... and for bum boy saying sombody has planted it there...he a fecking genius .. maybe birds or animals dont carry seeds anymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 It may well have been planted many years ago, as it is near a ruined cottage. But i dont think it would be a lilly, it would have multiplied +++ by now if it were. I cannot understand though how one singular plant would have been able to survive all that time. And no others have. I'd like to make sure it is'nt some kind of protected flower as im planning to dig it up as it wont/has not thrived where it is, if it is from the cottages original garden. MOLL.

Its not pinching, the people who lived there will be pushing up daisy's themselves Im thinking more along the lines of giving it the freedom to thrive in a more suitable enviroment There were actually 2 there, but one had been snapped, ill dig up the snapped one and leave the other one alone Lillies multiply via bulbs. You can have one lilly and it will still produce more even without a mate....dont ask me how, they just do MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
