ID sought for Southern Afrika bulbs

[Peter II]

.
Who can tell me what are the plants? A friend has fotogrfiert it, but has no idea what that is.































Tomorrow, I will show more photos.

Yes please Peter, do show as many of these amazing plants as you are able. There's a Nerine in there I think but otherwise, the un-named ones are quite new to me. Incredible to see these fantastic plants emerge from the hard and dry ground as if by magic. Thanks so much for showing them.

Well said Lesley!

Can anyone confirm the name of Heamanthus namaquensis?

[Peter II]

It goes on. Who knows these plants?

[Melvyn Jope]

I think image 22 is likely to be Boophone disticha and image 28 is Velthemia capensis.(not Kniphofia)

[Brian Ellis]

Wonderful pictures Peter, what a treat.  If you do a search on the forum you'll find some information on Boophane.
