Disco lily

Nerine sarniensis, naturalized on the Channel Island of Guernsey, supposedly after a Dutch ship full of bulbs wrecked on the coast, hence commonly called a Guernsey lily. Because of the awesome metallic gold sparkles, my wife has decided it is to be called a disco lily.

Imagine a (sparkly) scarlet-red Agapanthus, but deciduous like Amaryllis. I think I'll be planting more of these next year.
