Help me identify this plant please??

I've got what looks like a type of ornamental grass type plant growing in the garden which has done really well this year and sent up several tall stems. It has got dark green large grass like blades - quite thin and spiky and the stems it has sent up are really tall and thin with several hanging groups of pink flowers which hang down like bells (maybe 6 on each separate bit) It has flowered from the very tip first and then kind of back down the stem so the buds closest to the ground will open last. God, just read that back and realised it would be easier if I could post a photo. No time to do that now and my phone is broken so if anyone knows what it is please tell! Otherwise will try and post a photo tomorrow in hope someone will be able to tell me. I want to know because it's really pretty and I want to get some more!!

Is it a phormium? Or are the blades / leaves smaller than that?

Hello, my Mum thinks it may be 'Angel's fishing rod' Dierama pendulum let us know! HTH

It sounds like a dierama to me. They're a corm, and sulk if they're disturbed

ooh, you lot are good! Yes I've just googled your plants and it is indeed Angel's Fishing Rod also known as Dierama! Brilliant, thank you all. Reason it must be thriving is that I have done absolutely zero gardening this year (so no sulking) as have just had DC3 who wouldn't much appreciate being parked in the garden in the rain whilst I muck about! Bamboo is loving the rain though it's also grown loads of enormously tall new stems this year! . Will be buying more Dierama - definitely my kind of plant! Thank you greenfingered Sherlocks of the interweb!

Drat! Too late to boost my gardening street cred and suggest dierama.

Excellent, never known Mum to be wrong (about plants at least!)

Lucky you,magpie. It took me years to sort out the wrongly-named plants that my dear mama and papa gave me when I started my garden.

Wow that's a coincidence, just saw a picture of Dierama in my plants book for the first time ever yesterday and I thought your description sounded like that! 2 days ago I wouldn't have heard of it
