Two species are known as the Guernsey lily:

Nerine sarniensis, which is scarlet, and Nerine bowdenii, which is pink,

Despite their common names (sarniensis means "from Guernsey"), neither is a true lily.

Nnor do they originate from the Channel Isles.

In fact, they are native to South Africa.

However, they are now naturalised in France, Madeira and the Azores.
