This lovely flower appeared in our allotment at the end of May. No leaves are present and the flower stalk is about 18 inches high.

No, Dodecatheon flowers look like little Cyclamen in shape and 'posture'. I first though it might be an Oxalis, but they come with leaves like clover. So I don't know, sorry.

Thanks for trying. I think I've identified it from a gardening book as Dierama dracomontanum.
