(aka: Eucomis autumnalis var. amaryllidifolia) Eucomis amaryllidifolia has garnered more "it's really cute" than any of our four cats...shhh. The thick glossy green strap-like leaves make a small, ground-hugging rosette to 1' across. Sitting just above the foliage is a plump stalk of flowers that resembles a miniature pineapple. Eucomis amaryllidifolia is one of those rare plants that makes you smile when you walk by. Get one for your garden as well as your boss' desk.
