This to me certainly sounds like Crinum, but I've never seen a bulb.
It must be pretty large to produce the huge stem and flower described.

I agree. It does sound like Crinum and the bulbs are very large. The pink
variety is a little more unusual than the white and if this is Crinum I hope
Janet will tell us how it gets on with her. I knew one garden in Jersey
where there was something amounting almost to a plantation of them, they
were so happy there.
