This page is a place where people can post pictures of bulbs they are having trouble identifying. Anyone who thinks they can help figure out these plants, please send a note to the pbs list for discussion. Items identified will be moved to the appropriate page once we figure out what they are.
Roy Herold is at a loss when it comes to the plant pictured below:
In the Drakensberg, near Thendele and Mont aux Sources, in October 2002.

An unknown Ledebouria:
Alessandro Padova from Italy asks for help in identifying this Hymenocallis that was sold under the name, Hymenocallis philipinas. The bulb measured 9 cm in diameter with leaves 7 cm wide. It bloomed in October
Rogan Roth would love to know the identity of this diminutive Massonia species from the highest crags of the eastern Drakensberg mountains - note the purplish campanulate corollas in the second image. This one blooms in summer (apologies for the poor quality 'cellphone' images).
Diane Whitehead wonders if this plant that lost its label could be from seed of Freesia laxa ssp azurea that Sheila Burrow sent her in 2004. The photo that Sheila posted on the wiki has marks only on three petals, not four as in this picture. It is blooming in an unheated glasshouse at the end of April.
