Lachenalia and Albuca

Hi,

I'm hoping to get pointers from you all about "easy" and "pretty." I've been
doing my research and have seen some great info on the PBS Wiki, other
places, as well as photos that make me kookoo to grow these plants.

But, I wonder if PBS members have advice. Are there members of either genus
that are easier-than-commonly-known or which are
prettier-than-the-photos-indicate?

I have had such great luck with Albuca shawii that I wonder if there are a
few more gems out there to try. As always, SilverHill seeds has way too many
choices for my wallet, and I don't know how to choose. As for Lachenalia, I'd
really appreciate some expert opinion about how to balance beauty with
ease-of-culture.

If you can guide me I'd appreciate it.
