Ismene
Hymenocallis narcissiflora/Ismene
what is eating the above plant? I planted the bulb in Spring and long strap like leaves grew very well but they are being 'stripped' by something and at this stage, there is hardly anything left of the leaves

Ismene or hymenocallis or Peruvian daffodil is a lowering bulb for a pot in a conservatory or house porch. Sounds like snails have got at the leaves, feeding at night.
