Can anyone tell me what this sweet flower is please?

A lovely family friend, friend of my parents so we have a lovely history, gave me some bulbs just before Christmas last year. When I asked her what they were she couldn't remember what she had given me. I'd love to find out so I can send her a photo with its name. It a lovely colouful pretty little flower and at present I call them Lois Flowers. Thank you in anticipation (tried to exit title but can't seem to do it?)

I'm sorry, I do not know the name of your flower.

I call them Lois Flowers

If great minds think alike, then ours must, too!
I have a houseplant we call "the Diner plant" for much the same reason!!

You have a period of time known as an "edit window" and if you want, you can edit your thread title within that "window of opportunity." When you are the originator of the thread, look at the upper right of the thread, and you will see a link that says "Thread tools." As long as you are in the window, "Edit title" is one of those tools. Once the window is closed, you have to contact a moderator or the admin staff to change it for you. (Does that make sense? .)

Something very familiar ... Perhaps one of the types of Ixia?

Thanks MaryMary. I'm about to post a thread so I will che check out Thread Tools.to get to the Title.
I'm gathering your Diner Plate Plant came from a diner. I first read it as dinner and pictured a huge one.
I saw tne Thread Tools title so thanks MaryMary. Ofcourse it has gone from my thread now, not that large a window of opportunity but hopefully by checking it out this time I'll know what to do if I need it in future.

Thank you Larisa. I checked it out and it does look like an Ixia. There was an image of a Mabel Ixia on line, same colour but i couldn't see the centre. But Ixia will do very nicely . I'll send it off to Lois today .
I've just been to my plant with the on line image and.... Eureka.... it is a Mabel Ixia. . Thanks Larisa .
