Which Nerine is it?

Hi Gang,

I was given a clump of Nerines about 3 years ago; there were identified as N.
sarniensis. They came in the mail mostly intact and I've been giving them
what I think they want, which amounts to dry summers and not too cold winters,
and almost no fertilizer.

They bloom in Januray, about 2-3 months after they leaf out. The flowers are
dainty and pink-lavender, about 1-inch-across or perhaps a bit larger. After
thinking about it I've decided they are probably not N. sarniensis.

The flowers remind me of the ones in the link, but mine are paler and don't
have a stripe.

I don't grow any other Nerines and I'm wondering what these bulbs are. Maybe
they are one of the many hybrids, but I thought N. sarniensis types produced
larger flowers.

Cordially,

Conroe Joe
