I was given this lovely plant by my neighbour last year, it was just a couple of leafs around 2 inches tall. I have looked after it in my conservatory throughout the last 9 months watering. feeding and potting it on as it has grown. Little did I expect it to grow into this fantastic and gorgeous plant. My neighbour didnt know what it was and its such a shame that he cannot see it in its present form [he is visiting relatives in China]
I was thinking it s maybe some species of Lily but I could be entirely wrong, Im sure that someone out there will recognise it immediately and will be able to tell me how I shoud care for it when it has finished flowering;0)))
