  Last year the bulb split and instead of 1 flower I have several bulblets - at present I have 5 flowers. Love to know what this plant is.
  Many thanks

  The flower is similar to an aloe so I am guessing something like that.

  Take a look at South African bulbs Veltheimia Capensis or Bracteata. Looks like one or the other. From the photos, Capensis has a more grey blue leaf colour whilst the latter has a more glossier leaf.
