nerine bowdenii

Nerine bowdenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is an herbaceous bulbous perennial, growing to 45 cm (18 in) tall by 8 cm (3 in), with strap-shaped leaves and large umbels of lily-like pink flowers in late summer and autumn. The common names of the species are Cornish lily, Cape flower and Guernsey lily. However, it is neither a true lily nor from the Cornwall or Guernsey, but originates from South Africa (Eastern Cape, KwaZulu/Natal, Free State, Drakensberg Mountains).
