garlic, but that's my MIL for you.

alliums. If she is very keen and knowledgeable and you want to suprise her, Trilliums (expensive and tricky but fantastic). if she has a sunny garden foxtail lilies (eremurus) are fantastic

Thanks for your advice. Bought a mixture of different lillies and she was over the moon! LOL at the garlic Didi, which I'd thought of that!
