It was a gift from an American member of this forum.  Perhaps he can answer.

Another little bulb.  This one has beautiful foliage too.

Eucomis Eudun, unfortunately as I was carrying this the pot broke and I had to repot it, hence a little bit scruffy >:(

That wretched thing has never flowered for me after the first time, and looked much less attractive then!  Well done, Arnold!

Well Jim, not sure what to say.

Possibly send me all your none flowering bulbs and I'll give them a go.

I know they say we have the best pizza and bagels.

Is it the water?
