Sounds like something you pick up in Tijauna, but no, it’s our favorite flower. Witness the first Neomerica bloom of the year:

This year the plant has put up 5 flower stalks, and last year’s single stalk produced a dozen or more blooms, so we’re looking forward to enjoying lots of these. We were a little worried about the plant because we made the mistake of planting it in the ground in the front flower bed, and absolutely nothing grows well there. Our theory is that this is because the house has no gutters, so when it rains all the nastiness that settles on the roof runs off into the bed and basically poisons it. At any rate, we transplanted the Neomerica into a large container of fresh soil a couple months ago, and just look at it now!
