What is this flower?

April 9, 2008 by Jen

Bulb

This flower is just now flowering. It’s a bulb, so only flowers once a year at exactly this time. Soon, two biggish green leaves will start growing either side of the flower.

I have a question for you clever bunnies. Does anyone know the name of it?

    again, no real help from me – I have just worked out I have clivias if that does anything for you!!! It is gorgeous, though.

    In my local paper there’s a small gardening section and they mentioned this flower in there. It’s called a blood lily or a Haemanthus sanguineus. There is one commonly mentioned in textbooks called Haemanthus coccineus. Truthfully I’m not sure which one mine is.
