Hi, If you had been posting from the UK, then I'd be suggesting Schizostylis coccinea, commonly known as pink Kaffir lily but as your mom is in Missouri, then this may not be the one ? but from your description, its a possibilty ?

It's a possibility that, even at the rate this group's going, after even
less than a month this thread's dead. It's an even BETTER possibility
that after Twelve Long Years, the plant itself is dead. Not to mention
the mother, who so long as she isn't, certainly might be a bit more
net-savvy by now.
