This is supposed to be 'Abul Simbal' - a kind of purple with red stripes. Instead it is a light pink with darker pink center. It could be 'Still Dreams', but it is from the Exbury Nerine Collection. Maybe the petals will curl into the more familiar nerine form as it ages.

Lovely colour. Is the Exbury collection at Exbury Hampshire UK?

It is exciting to see the first nerine of the year open. Yes, this is from Exbury in Hampshire. www.nerines.com
if you want the online store, although they are closed for the year unless you go there to pick up a purchase.

Thanks Wylie, just wondered, as Exbury is not that far from me.

Great detailed close up, Wylie. Even if it has emerged different from what you thought, it’s still has pretty colouring. Be nice to see if it does transform..
