I was going to say 'cool', but I think 'hot hot hot' may be more appropriate? :o

This looks like the Cyrtanthus grown on farm house windowsills and common called harvest lilies. Very often they are extremely pot bound, never fed, given little water but flower so well

I suppose you mean Cyrtanthus elatus - they are more common
