I have this pink Gloriosa that I bought as a rhizome for cheap years ago growing in the greenhouse. It is so bright its almost neon pink.. Does anyone know the cultivar name?

No idea, but sure is pretty. I have some need to go see if they're blooming, way in the back of my garden.

@JMorth, do you know the name of this gloriosa?

He grows lots of nice ones, but mostly in pots.

I had that one at my last home but I never knew the name. Yours sure is pretty.

@!Deebie I don't know of any pink cultivars of Gloriosa, though I did see a white one on some site once.
As a gloriosa matures it changes color, often to an all red (or some version of red).
The variety G. carsonii shows a lot of color variation.
Any chance your beauty is the result of crossing with some other glory?
Here's a thread where your question was kind of discussed:

Mine was definitely pink and the color never darkened to red, if snything it faded to a paler pink. If you Google "Pink Gloriosa Lily" a lot of images come up, some labeled G. rothschildiana, and some G. supurba which must be a synonym.

Mine has red and yellow like the one Jmorth posted, I don't see any blooms now, I may have to move mine to a sunnier location, the overhead tree is now shading them. Sighing!
