This is growing in my brother's garden.  The bulbs are big, several inches below the surface.  It flowers from early September to late October, and the flowers are slightly scented. One needs to sniff the flowrs - the scent is not wafted in the air.

Agreed - Crinum.

If not moorei, it is close (flowers seem a little small). It is also a very dark pink, but moorei comes in any shade of pink from almost white to deep. In a greenhouse, the scent would be very subtle, but waft around to be noticeable a few feet away.
