What plant is this

[Saba'a]

Please advise what is the name of plant below. It grew from a bulb but idiotic gardening service probably removed it.

It's looks like a orienpet lily bulb. . .or some kind of lily bulb. . .could be the hybrid one. . .you'd need to take a better photo.
preferably with the center showing, as well as the leaves. . .

Family Amaryllidaceae - probably a Hippeastrum hybrid of sorts.

Red Iris

No photos possible as plant was removed. Used to bloom every year so beautifully.

Red Iris

Not a red Iris (which would belong to the family Iridaceae) - this plant definitely is from the family Amaryllidaceae. Lots of folks mistakenly call these "Amaryllis" - but, even though they are from the family Amaryllidaceae, they actually belong to the genus Hippeastrum.

People make a similar mistake when they call Pelargoniums "Geraniums". Both are from the family Geraniaceae but are two different genera in the family.

In the long run though - a rose by any other name... BUT it does help to know what a plant is called if you want to replace it though - especially a bulb.

I'm with Indigogirl here. Would have said amaryllis.

 

[Saba'a]

Thanks. Think so too from checking link she posted.

The word 'lily' is often used to describe a range of plants - including some that do not belong to the lily family. Impala Lily, Belladonna Lily, etc.

It is definitely one of the Amaryllids - most likely Hippeastrum, although many traders in SA still call them Amaryllis.

Try the Hadeco site for bulbs.

Aren't they? Also a great example of something called a lily that is not from the Lily family. They're members of the same plant family as Aloes.

EDIT: Whoops - thought you were saying that Day Lilies were another group that are called lilies but which aren't. No - the plants in the OP are definitely amaryllids - the leaves alone are distinctive.

AKA Hemerocallis commonly know as Day Lily because each flower only flowers for one day but the plant flowers profusely and provides a stunning show. The way it is clumping, the shape of the leaves and flowers as well as the multiple flowers on each stem makes me think it's that. Easy to grow and if not a exact match would be very simular for replacement purposes.They are most commonly two toned and the most well known variety are a peachy orange but there are a large variety of colours many being hybridized.

Looks like my amaryllis bulbs too

That colour is the most common amaryllis and the flower looks identical so it could be. The reason I thought Day Lily was the way the flowers extended away from the stalk whereas the amaryllis tend to grow directly from the stalk.

Saw a new one growing in a completely different spot
