Very nice Martin! Love to see this species...I just got seed from Silver Hill and this is one of the species I got.

Quote from: Robin Jangle on April 06, 2024, 10:34:16 PM@Too Many Plants! - that is also a hybrid. Obviously tricolor as one parent; the other is pillansii
The tepals are identical to pillansii - they are lanceolate and subacute whereas in tricolor the tepals are broadly lanceolate-ovate. Also the markings are a mish mash of the two species - tricolor has minimal black markings on the yellow cup whereas pillansii has very bold markings

Quote from: CG100 on April 03, 2024, 01:04:42 AMApologies - B. rubrocyanea was where I was thinking....To me, it looks quite different from Rubrocyanea, and Regia (which sometimes I wonder if Regia is what's in cultivation instead of Rubrocyanea). Somewhere along the way, I thought I've seen a Babiana species that matches my pics fairly closely...maybe on SH species seed lists? If what's in cultivation is Regia instead of Rubrocyanea, then I think this could fit the pics in the pbs wiki, but not the pics of "Rubrocyanea" that are all over the web!
So far as I am aware, various sources don't mention much if anything by way of variation in the species, so maybe some hybrid influence???

I find it very susceptible to excess water during the winter growing season.you can see the browning of the leaves in my flower pics, I don't recall that before this. We've been getting more rain than normal this year with more frequency, so I'd wonder if the leaf browning is from more rain, or the flowering event (which I haven't had before).
But what are the spheres in different colors next to the Albuca?

Quote from: Carlos on April 02, 2024, 10:23:49 PMHi, I am not really on Albuca, but this one is quite attractive. It does not seem to produce the dozens of bulbils seen on other species, does it? Surely it is not spiralis?Hi Carlos, if I get seed I'm happy to mail some to you. I bought these as 20mm+ bulbs. I've had one for a few years, and added 3 more last couple years. I guess I don't know for sure, but haven't seen signs of bulbils yet.
I'd be willing to swap a few seeds. I also have dozens of bulbils of another unidentified species that I posted last year.
