Nice Michael. I've had very good germination on seed from the last SRGC Exchange that I sowed in May. Were yours from seed?

Should have a nice pot full in 2015 then provided I don't kill 'em in the meantime.

 Eucomis zambesiaca
looks like E. autumnalis but earlier and smaller

Roland

I have one flowering now too, with a delightful coconut scent.

Last week I have bought in a nursery a new plant for me :

Tulbaghia maritima

After searching in the web is it a bit strange ...some accept this name ...some other put it to Tulb. violacea...

Here are some pics for comparison :
T.maritima
T.violacea ( grow from seed ex AGS ) - T.maritima
same with the flowers ....

Any ideas as to the identity of this bulb, flowering for the first time.
I asked for Lapageria rosea from the AGS seed exchange and this is what grew. It is nice however.
I initially thought it was a Lapeirousia but now think it is a Geissorhiza, ? schinzii.

Thanks Michael and Peter.
Further Google image searching makes it almost certainly Hesperantha baurii.
