Lachenalia viridiflora
Paul Cumbleton via pbs (Sun, 20 Dec 2020 08:13:21 PST)

According to the Colour Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs, Sunbirds are the
pollinators of Lachenalia vanzyliae as well as the other species with
long tubular flowers (L. aloides, L. bulbifera, L. reflexa, L. rubida
and L. viridiflora). Most other species are pollinated by bees of the
family Apidae.

I grow both Lachenalia viridiflora and L. vanzyliae. For me (U.K. zone
8), L. viridiflora flowers November/December and L. vanzyliae flowers in
March.
