Here's a rare one. Bog Asphodel, Narthecium americanum. Apparently extirpated from most of its original range, its pretty much confined to the pine barrens of New Jersey. Even there it's restricted to a limited number of locations, although where it's found it tends to be plentiful:

Is it something you're growing in your bog garden? Not something that I'd heard of before.

Yes, I just received it this spring from a friend. He grew it successfully for years in New England, but when he moved to south Florida it started declining. I'm pretty surprised it bloomed this year.
