Thanks All I posted photos on my blog, the flowers are smaller than I first thought. Closer to a half inch or 3/4 of and inch. This Nerine has foliage which has started to yellow,yet there are many buds. Jim Jones - Yes, since you live only a few miles away, you may be right that this is N. filifolia, let's compare photos. http://www.growingwithplants.com/ Kirby - I am curious as you what you feel this might be. Jim Shields - I know, I too was torn between these species you listed, since I have owned at lease three of these at one time. N. frithii was the only one which I could ID as a grassy-foliage autumnal bloomer which was very distinctive. Thanks all, let me know.
