Dear All, I will try again to add some more'pink' Romuleas:
 R englerii:  Small pink  flowers which could be confused with R rosea,
but its flowers are smaller (diam 15mm) and appear in March, leaves are 
broader and ribbed (3-4mm) (R.Rosea resp30-40mm, Mai, 2mm)
R atrandra:  In flower now, a veryexotic nut tough plant, which appears
in some of the most unexpected places in the nursery.
R.subfistulosa
 Flowers in March, could be ccnfused with R rosea, (but flower is larger
less funnel like, leaves broader and lowers earlier)
Romulea s one of the genus (with Oxalis) I am 'hooked' during the last
years. Its diversity in colours and habitats/climats is interesting.
This genus has the same horticultural potential as Crocus' has now.
Other R species in flower now: R tetragona, hirta, diversificata, flava,
bifron, bulbicodium, grandiscapa
I hope that the images have arrived somehow ?
Kind regards

 I don't think your Romulea subfistulosa or atrandra made it.
