A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Unidentified Plant

I was recently given a plant without a tag and have no idea what it is.
I can't submit a picture of it but will try to describe it as best I can.

1. It stands about 3' tall
2. It has triangular shaped dark green leaves
3. The flower is shaped like a Datura flower but is double & upright
as opposed to hanging like the trumpet flower
4. If colour is a factor, it is a purple & white flower.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.

Is this like a lily? The triangular leaves grow from the stem? Or all from the base? It sounds beautiful but I still cannot put my finger on it or my imagination around it. How large are the leaves?

Triangularis Oxalis.

At 3 foot tall I was more thinking along the lines of a bromeliad or something like.
