aaargh; this is very familiar looking. *Anemone?

Nope.
Hint (I can't possibly deny an Irishman a hint) - we love it dearly,
and we call it Phrod, pronounced Fred. *For really, really obvious
reasons. *Obvious to us, mainly.

ok now I am completely lost.
The flower buds and sepals are very familiar. If it had 6 petals, I
would guess some kind of lily or onion but only having 5, usually
makes it a dictot. All of the guesses I can make are buttercup
relatives (Rannunculs, Anemone, Clematis, water lily). Ok, I give in.
