Hi Henry!
Do you still have this plant? Could you post another picture of this including its foliage? Thanks.

Yes I still have it.
I'll see about a foliage shot this evening.
I can tell you though that it looks just like Christmas Amaryllis foliage.

Here's a web shot

Thanks for the quick response. I have a lily whose white bloom is similar with your Bardados lily but the foliage is wide in diameter. I've enclosed a photo of it (pls. bear with the picture; it's small) so you could give me a name (if you're familiar) of this lily I have from my late grandfather (I'm now the one taking care of the plants he left).
Kindest regards, roda.

Roda,
It doesn't look familiar to me, but I don't know that much about them.
Here's a site w/ tons of them.
Maybe it will help.

Thanks for the help. I've already seen it in one of the DGardener's site- it's an Amazon Lily,

thanks again.
