Another plant ID please

I noticed this coming up in the garden, and have absolutely no clue whether this is a weed or something spectacular!

It almost looks like an amaryllis but the leaves aren't the same as the ones I've found

Chinese trumpet flower?

[quote CrumbsThatsQuick]@Crockof I think we did find out 😀
Gorgeous OP, thanks for the update.[/quote]
I can't see it mentioned in the thread. What is it?

Another vote for Chinese trumpet

Yes, it's definitely Chinese trumpet flower, also known as hardy gloxinia. I have one, grown from seed.

Incarvillea delavayi for the Latin name.

Thanks all!
Good to have a name for the little fella!

Just catching up to agree with incarvillea. Lucky lady, very jealous.

I refuse to go round garden centres anymore because I look at things and in my head, on repeat: killed that, that died, killed that, that died, ad nauseam.

Oh what a lovely update!

Nice to know what it was.
