Hi everyone, I have a picture of Androcymbium europaeum on one of my web sites at http://shieldsgardens.com/amaryllids/… I have a few small seedlings of Androcymbium melanthoides ("Pyjama Flower") and of Androcymbium pulchrum in the greenhouse or the cold frame, but they are still far from bloom size. I have myself seen the Androcymbium species that grows at Cape Point; as photographic proof I submit my fingers pictured with the plant in "Bulbs Revised Edition" by John Bryan. See plate 160, Androcymbium eucomoides and Homo sapiens 'Jim Shields' (dactyli dextri) half way down the path from the top.
