Very Cyrtanthus looking.

Here's a view of many of the possibilities.

Martin,

Probably Cyrtanthus mackenii I would hazard?  The Ifafa Lily.  As Arnold said though, there are other possibilities.

I know this page but I dont think anyone fits real well. The plant I have is collected as seeds near Vredendal, western Cape if that is of any help? That should outrule C mackenii? Should also note that the plants behaves deciduous.
