Heinie - Fantastic! Isn't it flowering awfully early for you?  The bowdeniis have just finished flowering here!

John,

Thank you for the compliment.

This particular bulb is probably still growing for the Northern Hemisphere conditions. I purchased two bulbs from a grower in the UK earlier this year. They are extremely hard to find here. My other Nerines are just waking up now with leaves showing their noses above ground.

At least this one flowers ten times better as the N. flexuosa alba
and is more hardy as the above one
one of my favourites
