Yes please Peter, do show as many of these amazing plants as you are able. There's a Nerine in there I think but otherwise, the un-named ones are quite new to me. Incredible to see these fantastic plants emerge from the hard and dry ground as if by magic. Thanks so much for showing them.

I think image 22 is likely to be Boophone disticha and image 28 is Velthemia capensis.(not Kniphofia)

Wonderful pictures Peter, what a treat.  If you do a search on the forum you'll find some information on Boophane.
