Ina and Roland -
I think of Habranthus brachyandrus having the most glaucous blue-grey
foliage of the all the Habranthus I grow but it is most apparent for me on
the newly emerged foliage and especially in stronger sun become greener as
the season progresses.
I wouldn't rely on it but often my own mystery bulbs that turn up
occasionally that have bluer foliage do turn out to be H. brachyandrus. I
was going more on the coloration and orientation of the buds. I put
together album together of the Habranthus flower pictures I was growing in
response to the conversation we about H. robustus in early December. Here
is the link to that:

I am also also believe that there must be some type of H.
brachyandrus. In my planting ground sometimes I have found out H.
brachyandrus with some with exceptionally broad petals which are very
beautiful. As it is easy to propagate from seeds, I tried to self
pollinate them hoping that I could get a lot of H. brachyandrus with
broad petals. To my disappointment, I have just got quite some
progenies with broad petals by mostly narrow petals. Apparently even
though there are some broad leaved type, but they are mostly of
mongrel strain.

Alani, this is what my H. brachyandrus looks like, what can be seen of
the leaves, they are nothing like the one in Roland's photos, nor is the
flower shape like that, and the brachyandrus has a dark part (don't know
the right name for that).
