I saw a photo of a Liriope with one flower open and it had long
stamens. But there are so few photos like that, it's impossible to be
sure. Also whatever this is, it seems to have strongly reflexed petals
as well. Kay is, of course, quite right that it can't be Spiranthes.
I had never heard of that before and must have seen something on the
same page but got the wrong name.

Grasping at straws a bit but something is saying hedychium to me.

The Hedychiums that I've seen don't have flower spikes that extend down
to the ground, have zygomorphic flowers.whilst this seems to have
actinomorphic flowers, and have leaves on a stem, rather than rising
directly from the ground.

It might be that long stamens that are speaking to you - they made me
think in that area as well.

Young plant, not yet formed a tuber. When everything else is ruled
out, the impossible becomes possible.
