;D ;D ;D
is it an iris ?

[Sinbad7]

LOL, thank you Neil:)

[Sinbad7]

I don't think it is an Iris, the leaves are very long and thin and have flopped over but the main stalk feels really solid.

Thanks macmac.

[lincsyokel2]

probably have to wait till it flowers, theres a hundred plants with leaves like that.

[macmac]

have you tried turning the label round so we can read it  ;D

[Sinbad7]

LOL macmac the label says Dahlia and I know it's not that.

A friend suggested agapanthus  but couldn't imagine what I'd be doing with them.

pampas grass?

[Sinbad7]

I'm not sure I'm a pampas grass person and I can't imagine me putting it in a pot when I've got a lottie to plant it on.  Also I seem to have quite a few of these in different pots about the patio.

Thanks though for the suggestion Bugloss

[Bugloss2009]

neither am I.  I thought it had just "appeared" in your pot  ;)

[Georgie]

Very hard to say but it could be one of the Allium family, maybe Purple Sensation this early?  It's not Agapanthus tho'.

[Sinbad7]

As I seem to have so many of them Bugloss I think I might have planted something  ;D

Thanks for that Georgie.

They look like self-seeded Spanish bluebells to me - I've been pulling them out all over my garden! I could be wrong, though  :).
