'''''Sprekelia''''' is a [[genus]] of at least three [[bulb]]ous plants in the family [[Amaryllidaceae]], or [[Alliaceae]].<ref>APG zitiert [http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/cgi-bin/web.dbs/genlist.pl?AMARYLLIDACEAE Kew Garden]</ref> They are native to [[Central America]]. Like ''[[Hippeastrum]]'', these plants were known as ''[[Amaryllis]]''. ''Sprekelia'' plants are sometimes called "Aztec lilies", although they are not true [[Lilium|lilies]].
''S. formosissima'' is common in cultivation, planted in warm climates or raised in pots in colder climates, or planted and lifted, much as the [[gladiolus]]. Even when well grown, bulbs often do not bloom every year. In a grouping of about a dozen bulbs, only two or three may bloom in any given year.
