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

Hello,
I knew somebody would suggest H. deformis. These plants, however, do not
have two flat leaves. They have several leaves held similarly to H.
albiflos, slightly curved upwards/outwards, but not just the two flat
leaves as seen in pictures of H. deformis. I don't know if it makes a
difference, but I have two, and they have formed fairly large clumps. Each
mature bulb is about 3 1/2 inches diameter.

You may have *Haemanthus deformis*.
