Nerine labelled as N. gaberonensis blooming in a pot now.
Flower is about 2" across.

We received this white watsonia a few years ago but the wet winter seems to have spurred it on to new heights.
It appears to be Watsonia borbonica subsp ardernei maybe the form called "Ardern's White",

White watsonia is very pretty - looks to have good-sized flowers, too.

At over 150 cm high everything is good-sized ;D
Albuca canadensis (AKA Albuca maxima) is also a tall grower; a bit like a snowdrop on steroids? :o

Strumaria truncata and the red form (ssp. rubella) both in flower now. I think these have a rather "graceful" appearance. The flowers are held on tall-ish stems sometimes up to 30cm tall for me but often shorter.

Genetic or stress-induced?  I've seen this on bulbs before, even on shrub growth, and always assumed the latter.

On every one in the seed batch  and not on any in any other seedling batch?

It is most likely a damage to the small plant cells growing out.

I've had it with Arum and Ariseama seedlings.
