I bought a potted flower at the store the other day, it says its a Sun Star and is from South Africa. Its a bulb, about 15" tall, with a multiheaded flower that is bright orange with six petals, with light green leaves that look almost like amaryllis. Its a neat plant but I have no idea how to care for it, sorry I don't have a picture.

Hi Lenore,

Ornithogalum dubium perhaps?
Take a look at http://www.capeseedandbulb.com/hyacinth.html
