unknown flower in Gaza

I realize Gaza isn't an European country, but I guess is as close as I can get. Is there anyone here that can identify this flower? The picture was taken in late spring.

I've NO idea what it is, but I wish I did! I want it! It's fantastic!

Bubba - do you have a photo of the leaf and approximate size - I'm guessing that because it is in the Gaza, it is in gravelly dryish soil and not shady woodland - but maybe you could give us some growing conditions

Hi Laurie!
Yes it is in rocky, gravelly soil, no woodlands. The leaves on the picture are the only ones I have. Thank you for the reply!

Hi Bubba, try the Plant and Tree Identification forum; there are some real experts in there that might help you.

Here's a link;

Thanks Bonitin! I will let you all know what it is as soon as I find out! Thanks!

Well Dave, one of our fellow members came through on my mystery flower from Gaza! For all interested here is the link to the answer http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/880034/ . The name of the flower is Sparaxis elegans, and here is another link http://www.bulbsociety.org/GALLERY_OF_THE_WORLDS_BULBS/GRAPHICS/Sparaxis/Sparaxis_elegans/S.elegans.html

Thank you all for your interest!

You should be able to buy Sparaxis from your local garden centre in mixed colours. If you have problems finding them i sell them at mine at £1.49 a pack. I don't think i am allowed to advertise the site so dmail me if you get stuck finding them.
