I'd agree Ina, in that The flowers on my R rammiflora have always been the purple in the PBS pictures, and not pink. Also your flower looks too big for rammiflora and I don't see any branching, R rammiflora also has narrower more pointed petals and striping on the backs of the petals -(a bit like Crocus reticulatus). I have to agree that it does look like a romulea though, and for Romulea I just think crocus, with a stem between the corm and the flower. Perhaps it is a Hesperantha or other Irid though?
