I am trying to put together a list of summer growing Romulea species to try to identify some that I'd like to try to grow.

I was looking at the PBS wiki and and Wikipedia and here's my list so far. Would readers take a look at it to see if you concur, or advise which ones to delete, or suggest others that I have missed? And if you are growing any summer Romulea species, would you please let me know which ones and what your experience is with them?

R. autumnalis
R. comerooniana
R. congoensis
R. fibrosa
R. fischeri
R. hantamensis (possibly winter grower)
R. macowanii

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide.  I appreciate it.

What I have as camerooniana is very much a winter grower. My hantamensis also.

Good luck!

I'm conceding now that hantamensis is a winter grower.  But I've recently viewed in situ photos online of camerooniana blooming in January in southern Africa (early summer there).  So camerooniana may be "flexible" in its choice of growing season.

Flowers fairly late in the season here, with typical winter rains.
