Anyone know what this might be? Flowered unexpectedly last year for the first time in an abandoned pot at the bottom of the garden - it must have been there at least 15 years! I'm thinking maybe F. thessala?

 F. pontica, we think .

I'd suggest pontica too.

Thanks Maggi / Ian and Ashley. I have a very faint memory of having pontica in one of these pots long ago so this would fit. It has impressive Lazarus qualities! I'll take a bit more care of it now.
