I have added a photo of a dark flowered from of Romulea bulbocodium on the relevant wiki page. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… Perhaps this is the plant that you are growing Mary Sue? ...... or it might be Romulea melitensis, see Collins 'Mediterranean Wild Flowers' which describes it as similar to Romulea lenaresii but with a yellow throat. I have also uploaded my a picture of one of own mystery Romuleas. this one appeared in a batch of seed of Crocus corsicus. Perhaps it is Romulea columnae? http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… Tony Goode. Norwich UK Mintemp -8C
