@NNY 

That is a belladonna lily, also called a 'naked lady' as it flowers before the leaves emerge. 

 

Botanical name is Amaryllis Belladonna

Re: The Community Garden :)

Hi @Former-Member Giant Victoria Lillies don't sink.

The leaves have air-pockets in them (I think), very buoyant & floaty.

So yes, maybe they form mini swimming pools, when it rains heavily.

Hey @Former-Member It's a fair bet it's those fishies nibbling the shoots - @Shaz51 backed us up on that idea.

Or secondly, some sneaky Birds (as you suggested).

So no, you probably don't need a surveillance camera.

The tricky bit is how (if possible) to stop them Nibbling....

Very unseasonal (& very rare) Rain, yesterday afternoon & today @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member 

It actually pooled on the ground (water-repellent sands), quite a sight to see.

My garden plants will like it (maybe green up a bit).

My birds loved it - the canaries all hung on the aviary wire, having a shower while it rained.

Ah very interesting @Adge about the Giant Victoria Lillies. Actually amazing when you think about it😊

Re: The Community Garden :)

Yes it is definitely amazing @Former-Member I have seen them in person.

In Australian Botanical Gardens (Greenhouses) - not in their natural habitat.
