Great pictures Hans. 
Gethyum atropurpureum is also on this year's seedex (#1682) and I was delighted to get some seed 8). 
Let me know if you'd like a share David.

Ashley, I'd love a few if you can spare them. Are you interested in a few bulbils of Calochortus barbatus in exchange?

Unfortunately I probably don't have enough to split my portion of seed three ways Alberto, but it's also listed by JJA Seeds (http://www.jjaseeds.com/).

Hans an d Alberto,

I think the right name is Lachenalia aloides var. quadricolor.
I have received seeds from Saunders in S.A, they are in flower now after 3 years and have many bulblets too,
it is an easy plant to grow.
