With leaves like a lily either two or four on a plant



And a pretty lilac coloured face.
Its some kind of weed that seems to pop up when it rains.



I have gone through the Qld weed site and cannot find it
Would love a ID Thanks..

Without any more info I can't be sure but it could be a native iris or flag iris. Look up Patersonia occidentalis and see what you think.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.

A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

nice weeds, but then again most weeds have a nice flower

My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

Getting close Gail but not quite there though, many Thanks.

Only ever a single plant I have never seen it clump at all.
I am not sure if it flowers all the year round but I see it often
The height of the plant to the top of the flower is 20cms
It was three 12 cm sword shaped leaves 1cm wide to zero on the soil level
And one more leaf half way up the flower stem.
The entire width of the flower is nearly 2cms.
