Hi Donna -
So glad this helped you out, don't you just love it when one of those "no names" finally gets an ID?

This is a fun plant, it lives in my greenhouse with my succulents. The two flower stalks came out in January (I purchased it at The Ruth Bancroft Garden http://www.ruthbancroftgarden.org sale last October) and it looked like any old onion with the foilage dying down.

Here's a picture from July showing the two stems, one of which I cut off yesterday. Poor thing must be worn out from blooming forever.
