I can't offer any idea of its ID, but I can ramble. When I saw the first picture, I thought "Habranthus." Then I saw the second picture and threw that possibility out, since Habranthus wouldn't produce more than one flower to a stem. I thought "Crinum, maybe?" But it doesn't really look like a Crinum -- no floral tube, and the stigma doesn't look right. One possibility is the pink form of Rhodophiala bifida (var. spathacea.) Whatever it is, it's a beautiful plant. Let's hope it multiplies and divides.
