| I have a wild flower growing in my garden it has 6 white petals in a star shape, 3 of them have yellow coming out from the centre, inside the centre is an additional 3 petals which curl up and are slightly purple. The stem is long and thin, with strappy leaves. Can anyone point me in the direction of identifying this plant. Thank you. |

| Could it be a type of iris? Or perhaps a dietes? (Do a google image search for pics of either. |

| Could it be an Asper-Agus. Oh no my fault , that is a vegetable. Do you know my dog is called Peter. Hope this helps. |

| I'd think Cestrum is right - sounds very much like Dietes |
