Visiting UCSC Arboretum (Santa Cruz CA. Arboretum known for plants of the 5 Mediterranean climates) yesterday to see the Puya, and came across these bulbs.
Any ID help?
Both are very short, the purple one might be only3-5" tall.

The purple flower is a Romulea but I would not be able to identify the species. If you look at the Wiki you will see how many Romulea there are and how difficult they are to distinguish.
The white flowers is a Freesia, same problem.... No idea which species this is
Bye for now
