Doryanthes palmeri (Palmer's Giant Flame Lily)

200 (400)cm, Giant Flame Lily is endemic of north east New South Wales and south east Queensland (Australia) and more rarely seen in cultivation than it's slightly larger sister Doryanthes excelsa. It makes a large basal rosette of very long and broad leaves with a central, impressive, at the tip bowing inflorescence of numerous bright scarlet flowers. Easily grown in any rich, very well drained soil in full sun throughout the year. Plants are very slow growing and should be kept drier in winter at a winter low of some 12°C. IV-VI.
