Alan,
It's interesting, - at first, after seeing the flowers, I thought I had
seen it in Europe and in the US, but then, looking at the Wikipedia page
for this plant, - I realized that the stem portion of the plant is
rather different, really surviving-in-desert-capable one.
What I had thought of - was a shrub-type or maybe low-tree type of a
plant. I am guessing it could be either a completely different one, or
something that is a hybrid.
The plant looks nice in the photo, but the background is somewhat
distracting. I would have tried to blur it by limiting the DOF by using a
wide-open aperture - f/4 for your lens (you've used f/8).
Cheers,
Igor

There are at least 6 species in this SA genus. Several common names are in
use, esp. Impala Lily in SA & Desert Rose overseas. Natural &
horticultural hybridisation has produced many spectacular varieties. This
year with the drought conditions in SA, they are flowering very well. Here
are some shots I took yesterday - a sort of swansong for my K110D which I
am selling off.
