What Lily has these leaves?
Options
Hi guys, in April, I bought a pack of 3 Lily bulbs.
All I remember is they were a unusual colour, definitely Lilies, I chose these as I have different varieties of Lily already, white, orange, pink and purple I thought these as they would look lovely in the border for contrast.
Now to my question, they started to grow a couple of months ago and have long green leaves, similar to a daffodil leaf but wider, time went on and I noticed there were no flowers just more leaves coming from the base at either side and are very uniform.
I have trawled the internet to try and identify these but to no avail, anyone have any ideas?.
Cheers.

This is only a guess, could it be Hesperantha, commonly known as Kaffir lily? Maybe the plants aren't yet mature enough to flower as you planted them in the spring, you usually plant bulbs in the Autumn.0

Did not expect it to grow so soon and so fast. I thought it was growing blind to be honest as Daffodils and Tulips do in my garden.0
