Romulea bulbocodium (var. leichtlinii)
From SRGC seed exchange 70. There was no var but it should be this one.

I have these (Romulea bulbocodium) growing in a sand bed. DO THEY SEED ABOUT. Nice flowers but controlling them is a problem. Are they better with more competition? I have the yellow form now in a pot; with last years seed pods. Not sure what to do with it/them. Ideas please.

Some more Romulea

Romulea ramiflora
was labelled Romulea bulbocodium but its short style and smaller flower indicate Romulea ramiflora

Romulea rollii, from Corsica too
A bit bigger than columnae, but still small.
