Wrong colour, Roland, the photo is pretty much the right colour. The leaves are very long, about 30 cms. It must have been brought in from plant material. If it is a Romulea, does it go dormant in the winter? Green all year round? I know nothing about them. When it finishes flowering (there is another bud coming) I will pot it up, so I can keep an eye on any seeding problems. Will check what the bulb looks like then. It sounds like it could be a problem. Ina Crossley Auckland New Zealand On 5/11/2011 7:57 p.m., bulborum botanicum wrote: > It really looks like Romulea ramiflora
