A close up of the flower:
Thanks!

gods this made me wince before seeing the other comments as I thought this was hogweed on first glance😬
I’m def glad it’s not🤗
Who doesn’t put hogweed on flower vases? Such a nice plant.
Wild garlic, maybe?
Stalks too long and not the right flower shape.
My plant id app says sun star, ornithigalum dubium
The white flower is supposed to be rare but looks to be a commercially available hybrid. Did you take these from a planted garden or are they wild? If they’re wild, unless youre in South Africa, the ID is probably incorrect
No unfortunately I simply bought it in a shop in the Netherlands. And forgot the name.
It’s probably that then if it was a cut flower
Don’t eat it :)
And be careful if you have a cat lilies can be super toxic (even the pollen)
So, I’m a filthy cheat and used PlantNet. It suggests, with a fairly high degree of certainty, that this is Arabian Starflower, which is a cool name.
Amazing. That appears to be spot on! I was using Obsidentify and that one didn’t have a clue. And yes, very cool name indeed.
Glad to have helped! I’ve been consistently amazed by this app, it’s really hard to catch it out. I tried really hard walking around an old stately home belonging to an Edwardian plant-hunter, tried it on all kinds of obscure plants and trees from Asia, the Americas and all over. I can’t remember it truly failing. I think it’s backed by a quite lively community of plant nerds - if something really is unusual, the community looks at the photos, and tries to solve it, and then that in turn teaches the app. It’s a great system.
Wow, those two options look damn near identical to me. I wonder what makes it over 70% confident it’s one and only 9% confident it’s the other.
