4 plants together on grassy bank above beach (not here before). The 2 largest bulbs 65 x 65mm. All flowers white, petals 85mm long, flowers fainlty nicely scented. Bulbs spaced c.30cm apart and not very deeply rooted in the ground - I suspect that they were planted there illegally by a member of the public? All uprooted
