Paul Licht mentioned Lotusland in his post. I happen to be a docent there
and give tours often. One feature of Lotusland is the huge planting of
clivia lily. The bed is about 100 feet long by 25 feet wide. In bloom it
can be quite spectacular. Some years are better than others so the
argument is between good and great...

There are few other bulbs there Haemanthus being the most common. The
plant diversity is quite large with over 2500 taxa on 22 acres including
one of the world's largest collection of cycads, over 150 species of both
aloes and cacti and one of my favorites a half acre Dracaena draco forest
including a 130+ year old specimen.

For those curious here is a video tour made by a local quadracopter driver
but being there is much more impressive.
