I have just moved into a place and these bulbs were left by the previous
owner. After a few weeks a flower spike appeared on one.

Can anybody identify this or know a place I could go to on the web or in
Melbourne to have it identified

Should they be destroyed or if they are a useable plant how should they be
planted and looked after

g'day glen,

that link won't open up for me mate, had a look at the url addy can't
see what's not right.

G'day Glen,
Wow! - Thats a Triffid for sure mate, look out!

Have those leaves been trimmed at all, or allways been 'scale like' ?

It has just been this 'scale like' the whole time. It has never had any
leaves. the flower just grew out the top.

I cannot get the picture up any way either - this isn't my mother's
witch's broomstick again is it???? Description sounds like it.
(Triffid and leaves just scales)

That ended up being HAEMANTHUS (syn SCINDOXUS) also Blood Lily and
Ox-Tongue Lily.

Picture of that at:
