    I had this plant outside in the summer and I think it flowered
    It has been on the window sill for a while now and shows no signs of deterioration lovely green leaves about 9-10 inch long
    The base of the plant looks like a big hyacinth bulb but I know it is not one of them

    I go with Marley on the Pineapple Lily.

    I have some in the garden (stay out there all year long) and the leaves look just like mine. Of course, mine loses its leaves in the winter.

    Well I would have guessed eucomis as well, but surely, if it had flowered, it would have been memorable.
