Here's an easier one than my last :> It's readily available as a cut flower.

red hot poker or eremerus or foxtail lily
 
Is it a foxtail??
 
This one has me baffled- the flowers really look like eremurus, but they grow from finger shaped tubers, not a big round bulb- the bulb looks like eucomis, they have simliar flowers, but I have never seen one to be such a slender spike.

It is a member of the Liliaceae family and does resemble the foxtail lily but, it's not it :)

More hints later...

Added:

It as also been classified in the Hyacinthaceae family...
 
I love to say "Ornithogalum".. I keep saying if I ever get a pet that is what I will name them!!

Congrats :>
