Lachenalia
« on: March 13, 2012, 10:51:43 AM »
Whilst looking for other pics I came across this Lachenalia which I realised was wrongly labelled. Rather than spend ages trying to find out what it could be I thought I'd throw it open to discussion. Any ideas?

Certainly looks like a good likeness. Other opinions?

In flower shape looks also similar to L. mutabilis and L. violacea. See pics.

Ho dear, I think I'll let this one run for a while before I attach a name to it.

This is Lachenalia orchioides var glaucina which came from former members of our local group back in the 1980s!
