Hello Jo,

this looks like a Tulbaghia to me. Maybe Tulbaghia simmleri.

Hello Jo, welcome to the forum.

A lovely plant you have there, which, As Thomas suggests, is probably Tulbaghia simmleri.... it should have a wonderful fragrance.  8)

Just a blank white space came up for me, with the message "The picture is currently unavailable." That's a new one.
