I have had this as Ledebouria sandersonii for 10 years, is it the right name?

I can't help with the name either, Kirsten  :-[ ... but I do remember from old PBS posts that ID of these plants can be very tricky. L. sandersonii does, I believe, "fit" into all three of the general sections for Ledebouria!

They look a lot as what I bought as Ledebouria galpinii
but I am no specialist for Ledebouria
and are not sure if that name was correct

One for Maggi, my first Eucomis in flower apart from the E.bicolor in the garden.  Eucomis 'Baby Opal' - who names these things?  It's a super little plant obtained this year.

Roland and Brian.... both lovely.  Congrats on both flowering, but particularly Roland as it is his first flowering of it.  Very nice.
