I grow this as Lachenalia orchioides var glaucina, but I think it is now just L. glaucina? And L. elegans in bud.

Arnold, those Lachenalia images against a colored cardboard piece are very interesting.

Alberto:

They're file folders with a bit of texture.  I've tried different colors to compliment the colors of the flowers.

I like the green most.

Very neat contrast, very useful for ID. Super idea. Even better that the images in The Lachenalia Handbook.
