Unknown orchid a cut flower
 

Hi

This flower was included in a bunch of cut flowers. Florist told my wife it was an orchid.

Any ideas?

Regards

It doesn't look like an orchid to me! Don't know what it is, though. Sorry!

I am not really sure what that is but its not an orchid.

It isn't an orchid. Orchid flowers don't have pistils and stamens like that. I'm not sure what plant that is. :(

It's not an orchid, the common name is Pineapple Lily. It belongs to the genus Eucomis.

It is a South African bulb.

Don't know if it's a hybrid involving Eucomis bicolor or if it actually is Eucomis bicolor.

Apparently they're fly pollinated.

Hi all

Thanks for your help.

Much appreciated.
