Once placed in Family Amaryllidaceae is one of my favorite natives, Hypoxis
hirsuta.  It only grows a few inches tall and produces lovely yellow
flowers.  It is, of course, perfectly hardy.  :-)

Apparently taxonomists recently created a new family for it, Hypoxidaceae.
But I still like to think of it as a perfectly hardy amaryllid.  :-P

Taxonomists always trying to spoil my fun...
