    I need help! I don't know what kind of plant I have. When I purchased it, the woman told me it was a type of Lily. Not sure though. I want to be sure to take care of it properly.

    I see there's one called Curcuma alismatifolia that's around the size of yours, with pink flowers, common name Siam tulip or summer tulip (though not in any way related to a tulip). See google photos.
