It has narrow spike like leaves and I think it's growing from a bulb or tuber. The plant is about 12 - 14 inches in height and it seems to do best in partial to full sun. I'll try to take photos of the rest of the plant tomorrow and post to the thread.

It resembles Sparaxis. Compare it to Sparaxis Hybrids | Pacific Bulb Society and see what you think. I'm honestly not very familiar with them, but remembered seeing similar flowers of them in the past.

That looks very much like the plants growing in my yard, Gyr. I haven't had time to take photos of the rest of the plant yet - we are painting the entry/LR/DR ceilings today. Hope to get one or two later..
