This has come up in a pot containing one of my mother's orchids, annual
flowers/bulbs not being my thing, I was wondering if someone could ID it for
me please.

Many thanks Bob, that certainly looks like it.
Here, Cliveas were called Kaffir Lily, until it was deemed to be a
politically incorrect name.

How could anyone be offended by such a lovely flower? :-)

It's not the word that's offensive it's the way it's said/used IMO.

I agree Bob. There is just so much with political correctness to
bother with sometimes.
