Haemanthus albiflos
I call this the Dr. Seuss plant because it looks so wacky. Checking google images, I see it is sometimes called paintbrush lily. The flower is about 1.5 or 2 inches. It is a bulb related to amaryllis. Notice the tiny leaves in the dirt. Last year it set a few seeds, and I got one to grow!
Adorable houseplant haemanthus-albiflos blooms early in the year

Hello Sara, Many thanks for linking up to All Seasons. Love the protea, and even made a painting of it.
Maybe you you didn’t see my email last week, but All Seasons has only two rules (on top on the Right of my blog (New at All Seasons?)
The first on is: only ONE THUMBNAIL PER BLOG URL for the linky list! Some participants have more than one blog, so they can post according to how many blog url-s they have. Let me know which one to delete – I’ll wait till Monday night for your choice, but if you don’t respond I’ll make the choice for you which to delete.
Paintbrush Lily is a perfect name for it. I’m imagining it to have a Mae West voice. Congrats on the new growth! I get excited when a new generation pops among the plants that we live with me.
Great shadows here, Sara. Thanks!
I can see why it is called a paintbrush lily. It looks a really fun plant.
What a fantastic flower! I love interesting bulbs.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. If you just go back one or two posts, you’ll find the latest My Corner of the World linkkup. I hope you see you join us!
What a really unusual plant, don’t think I’ve seen one before #sundaysnap
Wow – that’s really unique. I’ve never seen one of those. Interesting it grows from seeds; it looks like it should come from a bulb.

This IS a bulb! And it throws off bulblettes along side, which I have repotted elsewhere. I agree that the seeds were a big surprise.
An amazing plant – never heard of it!
