I have posted a picture of Romulea nivalis. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… and added this to the Romulea page. My first impression of Mary Sues mystery Romulea was that it might be this species which has distinctive upright habit and small rather starry flowers. The plant in the image posted is a good form with rather strongly coloured flowers. A picture on p31 of Bulbs by Rix and Phillips is closer to the mystery plant. BTW if you are thinking of throwing it out - you can pass a few my way! Tony Goode. Norwich UK
