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.
Best wishes,
Jim Shields

Since the Mediterranean species are supposed to resemble Colchicum more
closely I hope Jim Shields will upload a picture of the one he has
blooming to the wiki for comparison, or at least put a picture on his web
page with a link so we can see what it looks like.
