thanks for the correction.

I had suspected it was erroneously named.

Gethyllis villosa.

It's always been a mystery to me how some plant material is toxic to one species and innocuous to other.

Chocolate to dogs
Onions to horses
Colchicums to slugs
poison ivy which creates a serious rash in humans and deer eat it like arugula.

Hi Diane

Does this shoot the common conception that the Boophone are poisonous?

As for growing it in a pot, there is an old man (my father) which threatens with his shovel every spot in the garden without a noticeable plant, so my best chance of protecting those who go dormant is to move pots around.
And Sardinia is actually considered a poor region, but I believe saffron to be produced here for at least a century, being it fundamental in many recipes of traditional festive sweets.

I know the older man with a shovel.  I had a grandfather with a pruning shears that threaten everything.

I had to give him a spot where he happily grew some arugula.

He was from Pordenone in the north of Italy and couldn't understand how polenta was a new treat.

He probably ate it three times a day as a child.
