It looks like Nerine bowdenii, Becky. They're a bulbous perennial and are the hardiest of Nerines. They grow well against a sunny wall but may need winter protection if it gets really cold (a thick mulch of compost will help). If they do well in your garden, you should end up with a clump of them, which may need dividing after a few years. Great plant for autumn colour.

Its certainly a nerine Becky . What a little treat for this time of the year when the annuals have had their day . As Miranda says grown in the right position it looks quite stunning Particularly grown in a large cump. Cherish it.
