Ray was given this some time ago and we've never had a certain ID on
it. Does anyone happen to know which it is? I hope the pic is clear
enough because it's too late to take another now! It's probably about
2' tall in a pot and it's one of the 'beefy' ones.

Looks like a Comosa X Pole avensii hybrid, whether its got a name or not
I dont know

I don't know how Charlie but I've only just seen this. Do you know why
the Pole bit? As in Pole Carew, Carew Pole, or just straight-as-a?
;-) Thank you for this info. I'll pass it on to Ray.

My typing is not good capitals all over the shop! should be
Eucomis pole-evansii. Pole-Evans was a botanist I think, certainly a lot
of different plants carry that ending wether the Pole bit comes from any
conection with the Carew-Poles I don't know
