Good grief - your Geissorhiza radians is just wonderful. Will it stay in good patriotic shape for the Royal Wedding???

The last of my Lachenalias: Lachenalia contaminata, grown from AGS seed 3 years ago. Not a hugely glamorous plant but it has a delightful scent:

 I didn't know about the scent... and that seems to me to be a great plant only three years from seed.... well done!

Can anyone familiar with South African amaryllids identify this one I spied in a garden up the road? It looks like a Brunsvigia ...

First Babiana here in flower
bought as Babiana rubrocyanacea
but no red at all
so probably wrong named

And a bulb bought as Ledebouria sp. Mpumalanga
bulb looks like an Eucomis bulb
flower-stem first goes horizontal
later with the flower-part goes upright

I just received some Tritonia bulbs:  T. disticha and T. drakensbergensis.  Both are hardy in upstate New York; anyone have sage advice for me on trying them outdoors here in central Indiana?
