I have been growing and dividing this plant for a few years. I even transplanted it from our old house. All that work and I have no clue what it is. Can you help me?

I really don't know. It reminds me of a hothouse flower whose name escapes me at the moment.

Some help, huh?

Even without a name, it's very pretty.

It looks like it could be a type of astromerium -(sp?). We have astromeriums in our house now which I had picked from our garden yesterday and it does look similar. Try looking up astromeriums online and the different varieties. The other guess was going to be a variety of lillies.
Let us know what is it when you find out, curious to know.

Very pretty. My guess is some sort of a lily.

No big help here.....

By George I think she's got it! I think it is Alstromeria! I did a search and that's what it looks like. It makes perfect sense...sort of. We had pink Alstromeria on the alter for our wedding. I'd be willing to bet I planted it because of that. Where I got yellow though, I don't know. :confused: Either way, it's very pretty and is growing quite well. I need to divide a couple of bunches of it this fall. Thanks Mommytotwo!
