Flower ID

[almondfinger]

The leaves at the bottom belong to it. Thought it was a Lilly of the valley that wouldn’t flower. It’s under a cypress so very dry but has been getting watered a lot in this current heat.

Any ideas?

Can you take a close up of one of the flower stems?

Looks a bit like bears breeches, although it isn't.....

PlantSnap suggests False Helebore? Leaves look similar.

Agree with Kerning. Look up Veratrum album and see if it’s a match

Thank you all. Veratrum album is exactly what it is. Sorry for late reply, been on holiday. It's in my mothers garden so couldn't take another pic.

An interesting looking plant. Although poisonous it shouldn't necessarily be dug up and destroyed. Of course, it depends on its location where unsupervised children might play. Wikipedia lists it with a theory Alexander the Great was poisoned by the plant toxin given him in a celebratory bowl of wine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veratrum_album
