Hello everyone,another rather 'showy' flower and I am sorry to say,I don't know what variety this one is either.So if anyone can help, please let me know.

The Orangerie at Saltram House is at present the home of these wonderful plants.When we visited Saltram in April there were orange trees growing in pots in this large greenhouse;now the weather has warmed up a little, the orange trees have been placed outside and these plants have taken their place.



Thanks for looking, your comments are welcomed.

P.S.Thanks to Helen,[Helkoryo]who has given me the identity of this plant:- Clivia or Kaffir Lily.
According to my gardening book----"This is a robust South African perennial,available in several colours.The flowers appear in spring, especially if the plant is pot bound.Needs a winter rest!"
