Nerine humilis or gracilis?

michael,

the pictures don't show nerine gracilis.  in graham duncan's book "Grow 
Nerines" breachiae is included under humilis (page 17).  the two images you 
cite could be nerine humilis.

if the plants are not growing in habitat, i think one would have to 
determine it by its winter-growing habit and that is does not resemble 
nerine sarniensis.
