Shanghai plant
 

We got back from China last week, (from what should have been the
holiday of a lifetime) just 2 weeks late as the wife was in hospital
there for 3 weeks, but that's another story.
In the Hotel I was put up in they had a large bed of what looked like
a small iris type plant, when a piece fell off just before I returned
home I found it had a small flower stem from the base, Not iris.
Any ideas as to what it is?

I've no idea about the plant David, but I hope your wife is fully
recovered now. What an unplanned extra holiday you had! Best wishes.

Thanks Bartbara, it looks as if that may be it though the pictures I
have found show a pale flower. It is certainly a plant native to a
large part of china,
It must have quite a scent or why do they have a bed of around 30ft
long and around 15ft at its widest?
