Somebody gave me this little bulb some time ago - he couldn't remember where he got it from! To me it resembles a Drimiopsis sp, except the flower looks more like a Ledebouria to me but, then again, some people think they're one and the same. I'm hoping the flower will open more in a day or two. Sorry, I'm not much use...  ::)

Thanks for the suggestion, Fermi. I do not know or understand this group of plants very well but, whatever this plant turns out to be, it's a pretty little thing and it adds a spot of interest to my collection.

Hi all ,

Are here any plant collectors who have grown plants from Charles Craib / Penrock seeds?

Here's a Lachenalia, formerly Polyxena.  Most likely L. pgymaea.  A form from Silverhill with a slight purple blush to the petals.

Thanks, Matt. The flowers have just started to open and I like this stage much better than full blooming.

This came as seed from the final Penrock seeds list in 2012. It was listed as 'Massonia sp' from a small scattered colony on Hantamsberg. It appears to be actually Polyxena (Lachenalia) maughanii. However - it is by far the best, most compact, form of this I've grown. I usually find that ensifolia/maughanii get very drawn up due to our poor light in November, with flowers squeezed between two upright leaves. This one remains very flat. Second picture has my thumb for scale
