Dead but not gone. by robz

Dead but not gone.

This is an amazing plant which used to belong to my Dad. He just loved it and showed it off with great pleasure. It has huge bulbs which shoot into 2 ft long lily type leaves. These then produce huge (about 8 inches) flower balls - bright orange. Unfortunately, we missed it's flowers this year - they were dead when we got back home. Funnily enough the dead versions were still quite nice.
Sounds like a most unusual plant. Any idea what it is?

@golftragic No- not really - it looks like a big lily plant but it's flowers are not at all lily like. I don't think my Dad ever knew either.

@woofandweft1 I hadn't thought of that - but it is! Cheers
