shekhina Gulf Breeze, FL (Zone 9a) May 15, 2008 12:48 PM	No, I didn't; I have no idea where it came from. I'd seen it coming up and left it alone; i thought it might be some kind of iris or Tiger Lily. I sure didn't think these grew well in my zone, but i was so tickled to see the blooms, i had to share.
