I was looking through my pictures a while ago and came across these, taken in early January this year. The plants are north of Durban, on the KZN coast and seem to have naturalised quite happily.

Zephyranthes grandiflora (?)

That slope seems to be suiting them very well.... I suppose there is little disturbance for them and so they have this chance to colonise. Lovely to see  8)

Hans, I think even Marsh Lilies would put up their hands in disgust at what I could offer them.

I've posted these pics in the Todays Flowers thread in the Bulbs General pages as we had been having a discussion about Habranthus martinezii but will post them here too.

Hans and Alberto, 'marsh lily' is the 'common name' for Crinums in South Africa according to "The Colour Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs"

Hans, it looks like your 'Zuccero' (or you mean 'Zucchero', either the sugar and the singer) is not so fine as Italian one! You can see how many flowers in a single pot! and large and tall! ;D ;D ;D
