What kind of flower is this?

ok my dad has bought a strange flower from piggly wiggly i think, is so confusing, i looked everywhere i could just to find out what this flower caused, its tubular i think, big thick waxy leaves and a single flower that looks like a porky pine in the middle, pink in color. the stalk that the flower is on is right in the middle of all the leaves but is separated from them all the way down to the roots. thats the best i can describe it without a picture of it if you can send me any links to places that may have a flower with a similar description or anything that my help my search that would be great
