New Zealand rock lily

This is 'Matapouri Bay' variety of the NZ rock lily Arthropodium cirratum that I grow.

Also known as the renga lily, this variety was selected for its superior waxy blue-green foliage produced in dense clumps. Beginning in spring, branching flowerheads carry numerous white, six petal, star-shaped flowers with intriguing macro anatomy.

Each flower, around 2 cm diameter.
