I have had 2 of these pots around for a few years. Today I stumbled across one of them, I think the other is in the hoophouse. Both are in great need of repotting. They thrive on neglect and little soil. My kind of plant. I know I have seen both bloom and I think they are like shaving brushes from yesteryear. Maybe one was white and one red.

Obviously it is a winter growing bulb, it is looking so robust. I am thinking it too is a Haemanthus. Anyone have a clue?

Maybe Haemanthus albiflos? The leaves are slightly hairy.
