This flower grows in the front yard of my sisters house in the Philippines. It is a beautiful flower but my sister doesn´t know the name of this flower. She asked me about it because she thought I know a lot. I told her I have no idea and this was the first time I have seen a photo of this flower. But then, I told her, "don´t worry. I ask my fellow bloggers."
Do you know this plant? Do you have this in your garden? Thanks in advance.

Looks like an allium. I had many growing in garden beds at my last residence.

Yes, they look similar @ElusiveButterfly but the leaves are different. The photo above is Scadoxus multiflorus or Blood Lily

@thelme55 must be in the same family though. A distant cousin perhaps. LOL

@hereandthere think she bought it in the open air market and the seller didn't know the name either.

@LadyDuck yes, it is. I have some poisonous flowers in my garden and told my family and their kids to not to eat the leaves or so. At least they know when I told them and they didn't even know it when my late mother planted some of those plants.

I think that is blood lily. We had that before in our backyard and it had a bulb, like an onion and sprouts when it rains. Sometimes, flowers come out instead of the leaves.

@thelme55 that's nice! It's just sad that the flowers only last for a few days and they only bloom once a year. I just don't know if you can let it bloom more than once if you water it regularly.

@brokenbee wow! I could write an article about this plant already in my other writing site but I have to plant this blood lily first when I go home to Pinas. My sister has bulbs from this flower to share with me. I can't wait to dig my hands again in my tropical garden.

I think my mom has that similar plant here somewhere in the garden. And I thought they're onions of some kind

Oh my! I hope you didn't put it in your stir fry lik an onion. It is poisonous to human and animals. Please tell your mama if this is the same flower in your garden @Letranknight2015

@acelawrites, tell your sister to be careful with this plant as it is poisonous to human and animals.
