Clivia, amaryllis and nerine. See the scrubbed links below. I passed on the comments from the list and got this reply, which might end this discussion: "I do not think the plant is Chlidanthus fragrans because I do not recall its flower buds having a distinct tube. Also its leaves are not in a tight basal distichous fan. I am now thinking the plant may be an unusual member of the iris family. My plant's leaves (of which there are about 6 on each side of the fan) could be described as loosely equitant; they do not clasp their neighbor tightly as in most Iridaceae. The plant is quite robust (to 3 feet tall), and in no way delicate. I thank all the persons who sent in their thoughts on the subject. You are welcome to give my email address to anyone in Victoria who would like to have a look at this plant." -- David Pilling http://www.davidpilling.com/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
