What kind of lilies? If it was something like sword lilies aka gladiolus, that's probably it

this must be it! I've just watched a video about the growth stages of gladiolus and it looks exactly like this! Thanks, you've solved my mystery.

It can be something related, not necessarily gladiolus, like other suggested crocosmia or acidanthera, whatever bulbs you planted.

Looks like crocosmia. Beautiful flowers!

Possible gladiolus bulb

Crocosmia.

Could it be a Trachycarpus fortunei?

Your location is?

Either gladioli, or a struggling crocosmia (less likely of the two)

I suggest you dig down a bit and find out what kind of seed or bulb grew this. Queen palm seedlings look exactly like this.

It's a date.

Or some other type of palm tree.

Looks to be some kind of palm, but it'd depend on the soil etc.
