Brunsvigia bosmaniae

A number of years ago on another bulb list there was a thread about
when is the best time to visit South Africa. It was a really heated
discussion with many of us coming away with the conclusion that it
depended entirely on what you wanted to see. Was it the daisies of
Namaqualand, the spring blooming bulbs of Nieuwoudtville or
Middelpos, the summer rainfall bulbs of the Eastern Cape or the
Drakensberg? You'd have to go at different times and hopefully in a
year of rainfall at the right time to see all of these . One of the
possibilities was to go at a time when the fall blooming amaryllids
were in bloom. Rachel Saunders has shared photos of Brunsvigia
bosmaniae blooming in Nieuwoudtville and what a sight it is!

If you go to the page to look and know anything about Babiana and
have an opinion about some of the species I wasn't able to identify
from our trip in September 2006, please speak up.
