Help Pleae - flower identity
Hi all,
This is my first post on here and would appreciate any advice as to what type of flower this is. Does anyone know what type of flower this is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ycesFlower.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/S6300292.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/S6300291.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/S6300290.jpg The flower is only about 2-1/2 inches long and creamy white. It has 3 little stamens, each with black tips but one of them has three tiny white 'orchid shaped petals' for the want of a better word, I guess to catch the pollen. The flower has 6 petals in all, three tallish ones at the back and three small ones in the front which have mauve tips. The back ones do not and are 1cm at the widest part and the front ones are only 1/2cm at the widest part. Thanks for looking. -- Di I'm creative! You can't expect me to be neat too. Vic Australia |

Liliaceae) and see what you think. Check for the vanilla smell: I reckon that'd be the clincher for you. HTH, -- Trish Brown {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |

Hello Trish,
Thanks for your post unfortunately it is not it. I will not give up - I have this 'need' to know. -- Di I'm creative! You can't expect me to be neat too.

I am going to email the pics to Digger in Dromana. Cheers, Di |

As there are none flowering at the moment, I can't compare but my image and the image on google are extremely close. Thank you once again. Di |
