Tigerlily, see he

We used to have some very similar ones years ago, they come up every year, I
think from bulbs?

The plants in the photograph in this site are not 'tiger lilies'
(Lilium tigrinum) but good old fashioned 'day lilies - Hemerocallis.

Now the unidentified plant is ironically, the 'leopard flower' or
'blackberry lily' - Belamcandra chinensis, so you're nearly there.
Its a rather pleasing, hardy, rhizomatous perennial from Japan and
China flowering over a period of about 5 or 6 weeks in mid-summer.

After the flowers have set, they are followed by glistening black
seeds which can persist well into winter. Give it a sunny spot and it
will slowly develop into a handsome clump.

Clever Bob and clever you! I've never heard of it, so Bob dear, if you're
feeling *very* generous, please may I have some seeds whenever seems
appropriate and if you can spare them?

Looks just like my Belamcanda chinensis to me.

and you should get lots of seed pods full of round black seeds which
germinate easily and take a couple of years to flower.

Thankyou Dave and Bob ;-) .................... I owe you, so as the new
owner of said plant, the seeds are on me.

When they are ripe, I will hopefully harvest and supply to anyone
interested.

Incidentally, the nursery has Belamcanda in two other colour types. Will go
and look them up now.

Thanks again,

Mine are not quite open yet. Got 'em from Roger Van Loon via this
group. More interesting than beautiful but still a nice one to have.

Yesterday I was given this plant by the owner of the nursery/landscape
gardening company where two of my daughters are currently working, on the
condition that I can identify it!

Two other colour types? Mine are more orange with lots of red spots than the
ones in the picture, so what other colours has your nursery got?

It's a bit late to go rooting around the garage right now but I'm sure I
have some somewhere, if not it won't be too many weeks before there are this
seasons to harvest. Whilst I will be planting a lot for myself and a
neighbour I'm sure there will be enough to send you a packet, and when
grown, what you don't use in your garden Ray might find some homes for. :-)
