Japanese Lily
I think it is called Japanese Lily - Lilium speciosum based on what I read from Reader’s Digest-The Complete Guide To Houseplants book. But I’m not sure whether this is what species because the picture in the book is different that the one that I have in my garden.
Since the plant is already flowering, perhaps it’s about time that I repot it to a bigger terracota pot. It’s like rewarding them for blooming..haha!
Check out the close up picture of the flower.
Now the flowers are all dying out and I hope soon it will bloom again. But I have to check whether this kind of bulb plant dies after flowering or it will continue to grow. This is the first time that I try to plant something right from the bulb, so I was kind of very excited to see it finally grow this big and flowering.

Hello! I got the bulbs from my sister in law. She dug it out from her rented house in Melaka. I’m not sure whether any of the nurseries nearby has this plant. I will update if I manage to see it sold commercially anywhere.

Hello,
Do you know what sort of plant is KEMUNING - this is in Bahasa. I have got the plant from my Indonesian friend but unfortunately she does not know its latin or english name. I can not send the picture because all I got is a stick with some roots attached and it has to grow - hopefully.
