Hey Martin,
sorry I just saw this. I am not sure about the name other then that's what the tag said frim the bulbs in one of the BX exchanges a couple years ago :)
It certainly is not what you have pictured in your post. Thanks for letting me know, I do wonder what it is as I really liked the flower?

It could an ixia such as Ixia pumilo. The blurry flower spike in the background looks a bit like an ixia. I know from experience that their seedlings can pop up in surrounding pots so could have been inadvertently been sent in as a Hesperantha

Hey Fermi,
thanks for sharing that idea? I can say that the flower that is up front came from one of those flower spikes. Its hard to tell in the angle of the photo but that flower is attached to a similar spike..... I do have ixia that I had never bloomed prior to this season, maybe they did get mixed up somehow? ( me).
Just looking at the wiki, and I think you have figured out the mystery here, thanks very much.

Moved it into Mystery Bulbs, maybe here someone will give us better insight.
