Matt,

The Nerine in the picture could be any of many such as:

angustifolia
appendiculata
filamentosa
filifolia
masoniorum

and maybe others.  Post close-up pictures of the flowers in full bloom, 
face on and in profile.

If the flowers are an inch across, we can exclude hesseoides and 
gracilis.  Let's see good pictures of the flowers.

Also, please measure the peduncle and pedicel lengths.  Measure the foliage 
width and length and count how many leaves per bulb.

We can narrow it down at the very least!
