Albuca superfast germinators

The only place I've seen Albuca shawii growing wild is on a rocky outcrop on
the slopes below the Ampitheatre in the Royal Natal National Park, in very
thin soil. Rapid germination when moisture was adequate would make much
sense in such a site. It is also a very fast grower, easily producing an
inflorescence in its first growing season. For some reason I don't grow it
now, alas.
