This is what has been sold as Brunsvbigia josephinae in these parts but is likely to be a hybrid,

Wow, Steve. That's what I call a W&W (weird & wonderful).
You can tell I've enjoyed watching those Miranda episodes... (her mom was with the "what I call..." expression)
:)

But seriously, should you ever have seeds...

Not sure if it is just one clone, but I've been busy with the paintbrush and I'll see what happens...

... the paintbrush... now that's something I've never done. YET.
BUT... I've seen pics of leaf cuttings with clusters of little bulbils... have you ever tried that?
Not that I want you to chop of those cute leaves, but it seems it's possible.

It is one clone I'm afraid - from a single bulb bought from Terry Smale around 10 years ago. But I've never tried selfing it and it might be worth trying.

Thanks for the info on the provenance of the vanzyliae, Darren. I'll let you know if I get any seeds!

That's a stunning one, Miriam!
This is the mauve form of Oxalis flava which is sweet and has interesting foliage,
cheers
