Sarah The UC Botanical Garden in Berkeley has a very large South African collection with many bulbs. The winter growing species are now coming into full leaf. Some are already in bloom and others should start blooming early spring spring. Summer blooms occur thereafter. As a bonus, you'll get to see bulbs from all other places in the world.
