@teamgardentags can you identify this, now its starting to open? @David great tip putting the sand down to stop the snail munching on the leaves :-)
Hi @richard.spicer.7906 and @justin do either of you know which lilly variety this is?
This looks like either the Stargazer or Starfighter but I can't say for sure which one. Hope this helps @David @richard.spicer.7906 @adam

Help me identify this plant
That may be a type of lilly but difficult to tell without seeing the actual flower
Definitely a lilly ... just not sure on the variety; i'll post some pics when they decide it's time to flower.
@David the lower leaves on my Lilly's have been munched by snails (we have a lot). Keen not to poison our daughter who eats most of the garden, i'm led to believe a few sprigs of holly on the ground will deter them... as well as the cats who use the flower beds as a toilet... would you have any holly in your garden of which you could spare a few sprigs? @justin thanks for your help with all the plant ID's
Youre welcome... You could also try a half filled plastic cup of beer dug into the garden so rim is level with earth. Slugs ans snails are attracted to smell and fall in and drown... Cruel yes but effective! http://www.slugoff.co.uk/killing-slugs/beer-trap
Thanks @justin ; im learning a lot here!
Hi Adam. If you are worried about little A drinking the beer :-) another simple trick is putting down bark or sand from the beach! Slugs HATE crawling over rough surfaces. I have the same problem with my hostas but it definitely lessens when i put down fresh bark.
P.s sorry no holly
This is awesome. Loving @teamgardentags @David @lukas.pechar.75
Thought for next version... Be good to hashtag this as #slugadvice so others can benefit from the info! @thedanielrichards @lukaspechar
If this helps to identify, here's a close up of the stamen @richard.spicer.7906 @justin @David
Stargazer or Starfighter...
