Last week went to sector F-8, for the registration of vehicle. In a green belt out side of a house have seen this plant. Inquired from the gardener but he didnot know its name but he has offered me four plants, offer was accepted happily

Re: Name please
Looks like one plant which the nurserymen call as an orchid. It bears deep purple flowers on a upright stalk.. I may be wrong because it could something from the pine family. Does it have a bulb?
