Bulbinella?

[Hjalmar]

Does anyone know what this is? It came from a seed exchange as Bulbinella hookeri, though in the pictures I've seen B hookeri has a denser raceme and flatter leaves. The flowers are about 10 mm across. It flowers and sets seed in the first year; the plant in the pictures appeared this year as a weed in another pot.

My guess is one of the bulbines, though I'd have to think hard to name the species.

Thanks Rob. I'm not at all familiar with that genus, but Bulbine sp. seems very likely.

Thanks also to Maggie for rescaling the pictures. I haven't been very active on the forum for a long time so I forgot the moves.

No problem, Hjalmar, good to see you here again.

The Australian Bulbine bulbosa?

[Hjalmar]

Thanks! I googled for pictures and Bulbine bulbosa indeed looks to me like a match.
