Re: Alophia drummondii

 

It's more commonly known as "purple pleat-leaf" or "pinewood lily." The flower direction seems random for me.

I noticed that the flower was pointing directly north (away from the sun?) so I don't know if that was random coincidence or not.

The USDA website has photos that look just like yours. The "common" name they give is 'Propeller Flower' which kinda works.
