I can't for the life of me remember what this white flower is called. 
Can anyone oblige and does anyone grow it themselves?
Many thanks.

    @fidgetbones can you tell if we can grow these in Our garden without the need for a greenhouse. Many thanks Valerie

    I've never tried it. The dutch grow them in huge glasshouses for the cut flower market.

    @valerieroberts yes you can - they're half hardy annual. Plant out after last frosts in sheltered sunny spot, well drained soil :)

    I think they are very elegant and makes me wonder why they don't seem to be more popular. Makes me wonder if they have a difficult reputation like Fresia?

    Or even those Freesias things. Ha ha.
    Second cup of tea required before spelling.
