Somehow I lost a thriving colony of Lily of the Valley that was here when we bought the place. I've never tried a Sago. Another one I've not grown is the Voodoo Lily, though I've some pics somewhere.

I love crocosmia. It branches well and is really a hummingbird magnet!

I'm with you Sarah, I can't grow many but those I have are fantastic. What zone are you in and is the white bloom Ismene? It's beautiful

Thanks! I'm down in zone 7, and my white bloom is a Peruvian daffodil. I'm not sure of its official name though.

Clivia - Kaffir Lily (I think Schizostylis is also called Kaffir Lily).

These are difficult to identify, from the leaves, I think of Hymenocallis latifolia, synonym (H. caymanensis, H.Tropical Giant)

I enjoy growing sword lilies too! I agree
For some reason my vertical shots end up facing sideways on here. Sorry about that!
