Your flower is Scadoxus Multiflorus, Elena. I planted two in a pot on my patio this year but lost one to slugs - they seem to LOVE this plant. However, the other one flowered, earlier than yours, in August and the plant has now produced leaves, hopefully to build up strength for flowering next year. Hope this helps, Al
