Very large white, fragrant, flowers that look like a cross between a crinum and a daffodil. Striking, different, and beautiful. When out of bloom, the big, lush, strappy green leaves are fairly nice as well. Quite tender, can only take a light frost. You'll need a greenhouse or a sunny windowsill. It's native to Central and South America.
