Expensive (£6.95 a bulb) but worth it  IMHO

Good photographs.  I think they are lovely flowers as well but I just don't like the strappy leaves.  I am pleased when I receive one in a gift though!!

;)

I think I can forgive the leaves and simply enjoy the flowers, Carol!  I don't much like the stripy ones but these two, which I've never grown before, look great.  The photos don't really do them justice.
