A friend asked me for the identity of this flowering plant. Thank you for helping us. |

| Perhaps some type of Dierama. |

| Where is this growing? When was it taken? Can you get a close up of the flower? From a distance it could be Schizostylus coccinea (there are pink ones) but that blooms in Autumn here. |

| Hi, Flora. This is growing in northwest Washington State in the U.S. I'll ask my friend for a closeup. Thank you for your help! |

| I don't know what it is, but I looked up Dierama, since I hadn't heard of it before. Wish it was hardy here! |

| The closeup provided from my friend didn't have any open flowers, but it did look remotely similar to flora_uk's suggestion of Schizostylus coccinea. So, rather than trouble you with that photo, I sent a link to images of S. coccinea to my friend to see if she thought that it is a match. She believes that it is! Thank you, everyone, for your participation! Thank you flora_uk for helping my friend get a better understanding of how to bloom this plant. The plants in the original photo was what inspired her to plant some in her garden, where they have hardly bloomed. I told her that getting the proper ID would allow her to provide the plant a better culture. |
