Hi, When I looked at Ina's photo, it was clear to me that it was an African Romulea, but as Angelo mentioned, which one would have been difficult to tell from the photos. There are many beautiful species and a lot of variation even in the species that you see in the wild. Some of them are identified by their corms. I can remember seeing Rod and Rachel Saunders dig them up to have a look and then replanting them immediately so they could note which species when they came back to collect seed. I've sometimes spent hours with the keys trying to figure them out ones from seed exchanges where they are often misidentified. It's not so easy to identify them from a photo. There may be a character you don't have at the moment like the seeds or the corms even when you have the plant in front of you. I've requested some of the ones that I've had trouble keeping going from the BX in the past and known when I got them they were wrongly named since the corm was wrong. It's one reason why I've added a lot of corm photos of Romuleas to the wiki. There are winter rainfall and summer rainfall species so they are dormant at different times of the year depending on that. No doubt Ina's is a winter rainfall bulb that will go dormant in the summer and start again in the fall. Romulea rosea comes in many different forms. It is extremely weedy (not the most beautiful forms of it of course) in Australia. When we visited the Mediterranean areas of Australia a number of years ago in the three weeks we were there visiting different wild areas I think we saw it every day. It's now been identified in great numbers in Sonoma County, California, a county south to the one I live in. No doubt it grows well in New Zealand. In Miriam De Vos' Romulea book she even named this form var. australis. But that form is smaller and doesn't look like Ina's photo. Currently the varieties aren't recognized. But because that species can be weedy doesn't mean all of the species are weedy. And some are a challenge to grow. It is one of my favorite genera. Many of the species are very beautiful. Mary Sue
