Unidentified Flowering Object

I found this tall, fat flower in one of the beds this morning, amongst all the fading day lilies, and I didn't have a clue what it was.

Here's a close-up...



Any ideas? Just say what you see...



I took a good hard look at the photos and decided that it might just be called a pineapple lily and - lo and behold! - it is exactly that. Also known as eucomis, it's a South African native.
