ID this Bulb please

19 years ago

HI,

I was given this bulb which I asked the lady if it was an Eucomis -pineapple lily, her reply was no, but to me it looks like one except that if it is our frosts dont knock it like others i have.

The leaves are very wavy as can be seen from pic below, mine is only a small plant but the owners are quite big and they really crinkly when mature. Any ideas what it is Thanks

Brommad.....it sure looks like a Eucomis to me too....except the ones I have aren't as "ruffly" leaved as your plant is. Hmmmmm. Did you plant the bulb yourself? If so, what did the bulb look like...color, shape, etc.
Very interesting.....
