Its a bulb of some sort ... that's all I know. I think it looks like the flower spathe is going to be like an Aroid, but I'm not overly sure.

 

It looks interesting.

Other than that, all I can say is, its times like this when you wished you had kept that nasty looking label.

 

Its in my spreadsheet ... just don't know which row though

 

Don't most aroids root from the top of the tuber?

It kinda looks like one of the Amaryllidaceae family from what I can see of the bulb, but the foliage looks wrong. Did you have any Galtonia bulbs, possibly G.viridiflora?

 

Good point.

Yes, the bulb looks just like that.

Don't think so. Growing some from seed though

Crinum?

 

I've never grown Crinum so I can't say.

The growth habit is rather like Scadoxus, but that has glossy foliage and the blooms emerge first.

 

Pretty sure it's not a crinum.

 

HTUK suggested Eucomis. I have an E. pole- evansii that I haven't seen for a while! so I reckon it is that with the label missing if you agree?

 

Thanks, don't recognise that name so I think unlikely I happen to be lucky enough to have one lying around

 

You could send me some so I could compare against the one I have to check?

 

Hmmm, it's looking rather like my two lots of Crinums which Sis sent me from Florida but as they are new to me I can't say for sure.

I'm liking the new Double Posting fault
