Rogan, your Leucocoryne you have as coquimbensis could almost be thought of as a poor man's Tecophilaea. ;D

I understand the feeling! It's the combination of rich colour and those crazy markings.... yummy!

Davey,

They're Leucocoryne purpurea.  We had them sold here in Australia as 'Andes', but they look just like straight purpurea, or at least what I received under that name did.  Very pretty plant, but I have no idea how available these are other than in Australia, and therefore what they're worth.

Hans,

The Ipheion is quite interesting.  The slight dark shading in the throat, and to me a very Romulea-like appearance to the flower.  Quite different to the other Ipheions isn't it?

Paul ,

yes this is really different from all the other Ipheion
....and it is one of the rarest Ipheion  ;D ....I need a lot of work to get this plant
I have it now from two different sources and I hope it is possibly to make seeds one day ....

Hans,

Well done in getting 2 clones of it.  That in itself is a bit of an achievement.  I am assuming given their rarity that they don't offset quite as freely as the normal species we see?

More for the surprise value than anything else, Nothoscordum sellowianum or Ipheion sellowianum or Ipheion dialystemon, flowering in the open garden, it's been snowed on and been through several frosts and has spent the summer under tomato plants which had been heavily watered and fertilised!
