http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=9804.msg260836#msg260836

Before some weeks I saw that after drying the leaves buds have startet :

So it was clear that it is not a Strumaria ....I have bought it under this name

I have no ideas about it Hans but I do like the neat way it comes from the pot surface and opens to such pretty flowers with no tatty leaves to spoil the effect. It's a very nice little group of stems - whatever it is. :)

Great help from our Friends in the PBS ..... Nhu asked about Hans' plant and got this answer :

mystery Ornithogalum -- ID requested
Dietrich Müller-Doblies (Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:52:06 PDT)

Hi Nhu & Hans,
this is Ornithogalum constrictum F.M.Leight., a rather wide-spread
species of the winter rainfall region of the Western and Eastern Cape
with a strange outpost in the Northern Cape. We collected it from 3420
Bredasdorp in the S to 3326 (Grahamstown) in the E and 3017
(Hondeklipbaai) in the N.

Cheers
Dietrich

Maggi ,

thank you  :D

I have just also read the answer on PBS .

I had before some days the same idea ( after reading the book “The Color Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs – page 317 ) …but there is not a picture of this species …so I was not 100 % sure

Best wishes
Hans
