I have two plants in my yard that are mystifying me. The first one is in my
back yard, in mostly sun/ some shade until late afternoon and has never
bloomed in the last 3 years, if it even blooms at all.

This one looks like a crinum lily to me. (Sorry I couldn't find a
better picture showing foliage.)

There are several varieties and I believe some are hardy to Zone 6.
The leaves come from a bulb, bend over, some touch the ground and
continue to grow all summer. They get rather long here and in the
way of the lawn mower. The one I had was called "Milk and Wine"
because of the wine stripe down a milky white blossom. In Zone 8
they bloom well, and they also multiply. The bulb is big, my shovel
is worn out and I have a bad attitude about separating bulbs.
Tenn?
