Ken, Lovely photos. Your plant is probably S. tenella sep. tenella based on flowering time. S. tenella ssp. orientalis flowers in mid-summer and is done well before the onset of cool weather. It also has a more pronounced dormancy (may be leafless in winter) while ssp. tenella is typically evergreen, if less active in summer. The "gestalt" of either of the subspecies is very similar to my eye. My plants hail from Roggeveld (ssp. tenella) and Bloemfontein (ssp. orientalis) and these places are a very long distance apart and their respective climates are very different.
