Can anyone tell me what this is? Planta says it’s a leopard lily, but it doesn’t match.

Update: I scanned this with another app and it gave the same result—drimiopsis maculata—but it called it “African Hosta” instead of Leopard Lily.

The pictures on this app don’t show the spots, and the flowers looked sort of different.

So pretty! Please post another picture when the flowers bloom so we can see what they look like.🌺

It’s the drimiopsis maculata, also known as African hosta, also known as leopard Lily. :) the id is correct

Sometimes the photos it pulls are the drimiopsis botryoides which are the smaller, more compact variety.

It looks like it could be a cousin of the silver squill plant

I just saw pictures of a Ledebouria floribunda and a Ledebouria petiolata that reminded me of your post. What do you think of those possibilities?

I believe Planta was correct and just didn’t have good example photos.
