All in the Asphodelaceae family.
Supposed to have coloured nectar, I think you should check it out for us

thanks Tin - apparently this species can have yellow or orange blooms - don't know what mine will have ? I'm just gonna expect yellow as the few I have seen blooming in my area have had yellow lol - maybe that's more common -
The mother plant this pup came from - I got as a gift for my mom gotta be around 20 years ago - just something had picked up at the drug store

hmm ... well I can try to see if it has colored nectar Will wait for blooms and then maybe have a go
