Slowly, Slowly, ...

Ten days after it started opening, the mystery bulb flower is still keeping us in suspense:
The cold weather we've been having isn't really helping it get moving. I'm sure it doesn't normally flower at this time of year, as I'm seeing the plant in more and more gardens around the area, but this is the only one trying to flower.

The suspense is killing me! Not really but I am curious as to what this out of season flower is, as you have different plants down under.

I too am curious as to what this is. From this photo it reminds me - though not entirely - of a lily we get called a "Naked Lady" and it's blooming time is July/August...but that's here in the south-western U.S.!
