Martin:
Hello,

I purchased a bulb last autumn with the name "Jacob's Lily" on the packet, no botanical name listed. It is now in flower, and I would like to know the proper name. It is similar to Amaryllis, deep red in colour. very pretty. Anyone know anything about it. Cannot find anything on Google.

Martin.

Thomas Huber:
Hi Martin - is it Sprekelia formosissima ?

Mick McLoughlin:
There is a picture of the Spreklia here http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=474.msg12486#msg12486. If that is it.

Martin:
Thats the kiddy !! Thank you very much, I can label it up properly now.

Martin.

Lesley Cox:
Sprekelia formosissima has the "common" name of Jacobean lily. But why, for Heaven's sake?
