I think I knew what plant this was when I took the photo.
Can anyone remind me?

No garden but two balconies, one facing south and the other north.
Most of my plants are succulents which need little care

Oron,
 Many thanks for reminding me of the name of this flower.
Apparently I had even given my friend  the packet of seeds they came from.
