Boophone excitement!

Boophone sp. Aus has particularly glaucous foliage with broad leaves and rounded tips - quite close to haemanthoides/ernesti-ruschii. Of course it may be due to cultivation, but plants I grow here retain those characteristics under my conditions.

Tim,
The 2 foliated Boophone in the image are also sp. Aus. These were gotten from Paul Christian (rareplants.co.uk). I agree these look similar to Pt. Elizabeth - as well as looking like another Boophone I have, "eastern Cape evergreen form", I got via Simply Indigenous. Is there something in particular which makes you think this isn't sp. Aus?

Do you have any pictures of your Boophone sp. Aus plant in full leaf? What you show here looks more like my B. sp. (disticha) Port Elizabeth. Mine are also flowering now.

If the Boophone disticha harvest were not enough, as I was cleaning some dead weeds from the raised bed in my backyard, I was delighted to see this coming from one of my (until now) juvenile Boophone sp. Aus:
