Veltheimia bracteata
A unusual bulb from South Africa, this plant is also known as the forest lily. It blooms with a dense cluster of tubular, long-lasting flowers in various shades of pink from late winter through early spring. Broad, fleshy leaves form a rosette at the base of the plant which may die back in summer and reappear in late summer or autumn.
