Haemanthus ID?

Probably just albiflos.  There is a clone in cultivation that has wide, 
almost round leaves.  Post a picture somewhere when it flowers the next 
time.  Albiflos often has 3 or 4 leaves: 2 from last season and two new 
ones for this season.

White flowered Haemanthus that I can think of:
albiflos, deformis, and pauculifolius
humilis hirsutus
montanus
