Help me identify this plant!

Are you sure it's not Liriope? I had some once, for a few years, but it never bloomed. It was getting too much sun where it was.

The clumps were always stayed green into the winter and then got new foligae in the spring. I could never just pull the browned part of the plant out, I always had to cut it. Does that sound familiar?

I love these "what is this"...

Well, then, it is possible that's what it is, if the seeds heads get round when they're dried. That would be nice, I love all kinds of irises!

I like these "what is this" posts, too.

I'm 100% positive it's not liriope. I'm very familiar with liriope (have 2 different kinds).

The exact opposite of your story happened to me....I have some beautiful variegated liriope along the back of my carport that never bloomed. Several trees had been allowed to grow from seed in them and had grown pretty large by the time we bought the house. They were too close to the carport, so I eventually cut them after a few years....the very next year, the liriope bloomed like mad! I don't generally care much for liriope, but this kind is pretty.
