I'll be anxious to see the flowers too, Glenda.
It looks rather like something in the Gladiolus family, to me.

It does look like something in the glad family. I know she had some summer flowering glads:

maybe it is them and they are early because they are in your greenhouse.

It looks very similar to my glads Glenda. I wonder what colour it will be when it flowers? Oh I do soooo love surprises in the garden.

I have one glad that gets extremely tall, it is a pretty pink with a yellow throat, very beautiful, the flower spike must is about 15 inches, definitely needs staking every year. This is just part of the flower spike, the bottom flowers had already faded.
