Was were i did rent a house some years ago

I was astonished because for 2 or 3 years there were no signs of vegetative life and then for one brief time only this row of attractive flowering bulbs emerged, never to emerge again while i was resident there for a few more years  

Was just baked earth between driveway and fence in suburbia

The plant surviving such harsh conditions is why i posted the picture  

There are wild black lilies growing in my current place of residence that do the same only emerge each year in winter 

what a bonus.....enjoy for as long as they last

I was to busy to take much ongoing notice but i think I may have planted these which were on the other side of the front yard
