Hi PBS,

Anyone recognize this salmon-pink Nerine-like flower?

It grows leaves in winter, blooms in October. The bulb has a long neck. The petals sparkle.

Sparkly petals:

This bulb is one of the ones I got when the UCSB Teaching Garden and lath-house were removed, several years ago. 


I am guessing it is a Nerine hybrid.

I hope it self-pollinates because it is the only bulb flower blooming here this weekend.
