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.

Hi Kay

After i've noticed a mistake about an orchid, i deleted this post.
but it was too late. it had already sent to all the readers.
Every time i saw its orchid-like roots, i had an idea it belongs to
orchid.
If there's anything that is not accurate in the lines i had told you
about things in the west,
plz forgive my ignorance.
