That doesn't look like a lily to me Nanjo.

Looks like a bamboo to me..but then don't take my words for it :)

Could it be a ginger lily (Hedychium)? The stem looks very similar to my Hedychium gardnerianum with those reddish marks on it.

It's definitely a lily and I think you are right Jaykaty I remember her saying Ginger Lily.... must find a pic. Thanks all...

Just to support Moon Grower, Hedychiums are not Lilies. It may be called a Ginger Lily, but they are not even in the same genus. Another one of those misuse of a name things, as in Day Lily or African Lily.

That is where using 'common names' causes problems Owdboggy...

Omg..too complicated for me ! I have been looking at pics of Ginger Lilies and the leaves look a lot broader than mine. There are 3 more appearing now, I will just have to hope they flower to find out. Thanks again.
