Commonly known as either nerine or Cape flower, Nerine bowdenii is a native of South Africa. The name of the genus refers to the Nereids, or sea-nymphs, of Greek mythology.
Planted for an autumn display of pink colour, this mass of flowers is from the UBC Alpine Garden.

Thanks Beverley. I should mention that I've read accounts that this plant might be hardier than Z8 - older book references tend to underestimate its hardiness.
