I bought some planted bulbs the other day from a local nursery. The man couldn't tell me what it was but he said it had bright pink flowers. I saw some on another plant and I thought of garlic flowers first. When looking at the bulb it has a crinum lily look to it and it has that wine coloration where the bulb 'turns' into the leaf. I'd love any help I can get!
Well it doesn't make a solitary flower. Instead, from what I saw, the flowers are in clusters (think similar to society garlic but not that tall of a flower stalk). The pink color reminded me of the intense coral/pink color of some cactus flowers
Another possibility - which seems more likely given the appearance of the roots - is something in Amaryllidaceae.
Maybe Cyrtanthus mackenii or related? [HYPERLINK@www.google.com]
