Hi, don't have a picture of this flower i just saw, but i want to identify it cuz it is so super cool. It has leaves like a combination iris/daylily and a tall stock up through the middle of it with several medium sized white flowers coming off the stock. The flowers form a triangle. What is it? thanks.
i am sorry i haven't answered this. The flower you have described is as a common name a trilium or like one. The one that i have seen has several more flowers and they are not clustered but all of them make up a triangle and it is loaded with flowers sort of mini lily shaped. I know this is a pain, but i wish i could describe it better. Thanks so much for the input. di

Sagittaria also has kite-shaped flowers. Leaves of that can be narrow. It's aquatic, a big patch some miles from here is only in the pond at the site where it occurs. There's also an evergreen clumping perennial we grow here that has wandering Jew flowers on stalks above a clump of grassy leaves that I can't remember the genus name for - but it's not completely hardy even here, would not stand a prayer outdoors yearround there anyway.
So we're dealing with a cluster of little flowers that form a triangle shape? Is that when you look down at the flower? Are they running up the stalk? To tell you the truth I'm totally at a loss. Maybe you need to tell us more about the conditions under which you saw it - in a bouquet, in a garden, in a conservatory...? You're probably best off to look through a flower book yourself.
