Happy birthday to me! I'll give you all the gift of a stumper. Family, genus and species, please, and plant habit if you want to venture it.
A very happy birthday!!!!!! Hope that you also received gifts as well as giving us a stumper. Margaret ps. Don't have the faintest idea about the stumper but look forward to someone answering it correctly.
Pff, I don't know which Bomarea could it be, but I know it's spanish common name, since your "Red Flower Test": zarsilla!!! :))) Well, if this is your birthday plant, then it is surely a Bomarea loraxi... :)
The common name is Cathedral Bells (Campañas de la Catedral), but that gives you no clue as to the actual species name, since the two are not related. I wish I had an Alstromeriaceae named after me, but I'll have to make do with Anthuriums in that respect. This one's been known for quite a while, and is one of the more common Bomareas in cultivation (if one could say that of Bomarea, which is hardly ever cultivated.)
LOL! Nobody bit - and this is the most distinctive of the Bomareas, too. It's B. pardina, which is normally found several hundred meters above this photographed specimen.
