**I have a plant that I think is a Lily it had a long stalk shoot up and then started opening these little green and white flowers. Can anyone tell me about it?
Its the one on the left by the black pot.

Glenda although the leaves look like lily leaves I don't think your plant is a lily.

It looks as though it could be one of the Solomon Plume family - maybe Maianthemum Racemosum. Confused

I hope someone else recognises it and can tell you exactly what it is.

The foliage and flowers look like Ornithogalum longibracteatum ("Pregnant Onion").
Can you tell if there is a large-ish bulb at the base?
