It would be nice to know what care it's meant to be getting, though this is
the second year it has flowered so it can't be too unhappy...

Hello

This flower may be unfamiliar to the Western ppl, but among the Asians
it is popular.
It's a 'scarlet Kaffir lily' (one of orchid species).
It's *not* an orchid. It's in the Amaryllidaceae, the daffodil family.

It's well known in the west, too - as a houseplant in england, in street plantings in, for example, southern Portugal.
