Looks like a Eucomis comosa. We had them here in pots in our garden in
the South Hams and they were killed off into a horrible slimy mess by last
year's frosts. The ones in the greenhouses, which are only kept at
frost-free level, all survived.

Funny, ours in the ground survived OK, in fact they have doubled themselves
and are looking better this year than they have for years. (I did originally
plant them deep though, probably 10 years or so ago)
