    If anyone could help identify the plant with the pink flowering bulbs, it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    That is really cool looking!!! do you know if this is bulb? It reminds me of alium but the foliage is too broad and the color is too wrong. Or maybe I don't know that they come in red.

    Reminds me of a Spider Lily... but I don't think that's quite right.

    Chocolate, we are so glad you have the answers to the coolest pictures!!! I love this plant, but have never seen it. Thanks for your knowledge. I wonder if it is available here.

    Strife, Where do you live? this is a great plant. I would love to have one. I assume, that this is your house plant?

    Good afternoon, most people here would grow them in pots so they can be taken onto the verandah to show off!But they can and do grow in the ground and they dont mind the shade.

    I looked up a few of them in one of my plant books and they do get huge. About 4' for a couple of them. Now that would be awesome to have in your garden if they are as pretty as Strifes plant.
