Hi all, this is my first attempt at a response so I hope I got it right.

To (hopefully) answer Jane’s original question, the book by Goldblatt and Manning, Gladiolus in Southern Africa, lists the name Gladiolus saundersii as originating from plant collector Thomas Cooper naming the species in honour of his employer W. Wilson Saunders, Esq., of Reginate, England. It most probable that all the saundersii in various genera described around a similar time (late 1800s to early 1900s) were given the name for the same reason. 
I'm by no means an expert, just a theory based on what I've read.

Kind regards
Dean

I was wondering whether anybody knew whether Ornithogalum saundersiae 
had been named after our Saunders?

And what zone it would be possible to grow it in?

And where to buy it?

In reading how to post a picture, I also read about commercial messages.  The intent was more to say I know where to get it...:D.  Not so much to advertise.  Sorry.

I have attached pictures of the flower and of the plant.  I bought from Silverhill, seeds sown 7-10-12.  The picture and the actual plant match the description.  I found a website that contains info on the plant (White Flower Farm) and they indicate that plants  need to be lifted in the fall in zone 6 and colder zones.

On the plants that I have, I now realize they need a lot more water than I have been giving them.  The plant in the pic receives condensation that drips on the plant.  The rest I have are not as large.  A cool flower and plant, but large!

Best regards, Lisa

Leo,
Cute but not provable.  
Perhaps I should have said their probability of dying over a time interval
remains constant.  For example actuarial tables will tell you a 30 year old
human will have about one chance in a thousand of dying within the next year
while a hundred year old human will have about one chance in two of dying in
the next year.  
This is not the case for naked mole rats.  While no other rats are known to
live to be 30, a thirty year old naked mole rat has the same probability of
dying in the next year as a three year naked mole rat.

Its not hardy here in NY and prone to rot in cool wet weather.  Easy to lift though and usually carried by Brent and Becky's among other suppliers of spring bulbs.  I just got some from there half price sale this year as I hadnt grown them for a few years, so now it is probably harder to find bulbs as the bulb companies have mostly sold stock for spring planting.  Seeds can also be found from S African vendors and in the various rock garden society seed exchanges in late fall.

in NY where those 10 Ornithogalum saundersiae are just breaking the ground in my recently expanded S African garden in the back. Rhodohypoxis are continuing to bloom well and the first Eucomis montana are coming up, the eucomis are always the last thing to come up after winter.

It has just been announced that Rachel Saunders has been found and
identified.  No mention was made by the police of where.  At last their
families can have at least some closure.

Sean was at the Region 6 meeting at Lansing and I talked to him in the Hollingworth garden and that is where I met you 2. Sorry you didn't come. I love all the pbs comments you  make. Wish I was close enough to get an extra 1/2 from you and learn new plants. anna mae miller

The seeds offered in today's SX10 are of a Smithiantha hybrid with pure
white flowers with ivory spots & yellow throats.  Many of the flowers have
extra flower parts, so this selfing might produce semi-double offspring.
They also have the potential to be fragrant as several of TS-B5's siblings
are.

To my knowledge there's no Smithiantha in the world that is semi-double or
fully-double.
