Any idea what this is? (Plant)
 
A Mystery! :scratchhead:

So I've had this plant a few years now. It hasn't re-bloomed for me yet. I know it can bloom as it came with a dead stalk and was told it blooms.

Any leads on this would be appreciated :)
If it does bloom I will endeavor to take pictures and post them up.

Sorry, no idea :dunno:

Looks kinda like a hosta, but also looks like it's in the sun, and I thought hostas were shade plants, so maybe not? Maybe it's related to hostas?

Looks like a Dracena! Has it been outside long?

I think it could be Lachenalia. Nice flowering bulb (Cape-Hyazinth) early in spring.

Looks like some kind of lily..Allum perhaps (spelling may be incorrect)

:scratchhead: Eucomis, perhaps? Also called Pineapple lily. That's my best guess, but can't be sure without a bloom. There are several species and many color variations from solid green to deep purple.

Here's a link to one example:

I'm with Evan. I replied on your Facebook. to me it looks like a Pineapple lily. But again only the blooms will confirm it.

Thank you for looking and your suggestions everyone. Very much appreciated! :bowing

Pinapple Lily is looking promising. But as folks have mentioned I'll have to wait for the blooms.

Should have also mentioned it's definitely a Bulb plant :blushing:
Although the suggestions have me thinking about other plants.... No must resist the temptation!

I have also added some other shots of the plant from different angles.

Funny you should mention Hostas as the slug munched leaf in the top of the original picture is a Hosta. :D
The picture was taken in the morning, by midday/afternoon it gets some shade. Just good morning light ;)

A few years now. It does look a bit like a Dracena, but I don't think it is :)

I hope it blooms! Soon!

My first feeling is Eucomis to and pretty sure it is.
