Dave, Chilean bulbs are incredibly difficult to grow. ANY of them reaching flowering size is a real achievement. Congratulations. Yes, it is Solaria miersioides.

Well done Dave. It may be small but I think it is very sweet.

Maybe the pics give you that impression Lesley  ;D--I'm taking it to our local alpine plant show this Friday however as i said I'm not expecting it to win ......... ;)

Hopefully it's not beginners luck Alberto as i have a couple of Solenomelus sps and Gethyum atropurpureum nearly at flowering size  :D

I've bookmarked your Chileflora link Davey-- (ps good seed seems to be setting on the Geissy.)

Cheers Dave.
