    I have this plant I got last year that I thought had died and wasn't coming back. Well, it did and has 5 of theses flowers that bloomed about a month ago. The flowers are still standing strong. Any idea what it is?

    It actually is a type of lilly so you weren't too far off.

    Be careful about growing non indigenous plants in your local area. Unbeknownst to you, it can set off a butterfly effect leading to disastrous consequences. Something like this happened near Malta in the 1950's and a person died due to starvation due to foreign plants destroying native crop lands.
