Looks like Freesia grandiflora.   I've seen it in road ditches in Malawi and it occurs in a fairly large area of summer rainfall southern Africa. Ernie DeMariein NY where it was snowing and now sleet is falling.  A few eranthis buds have appeared but are now buried, lots more bulbs blooming inside under lights.

Hi,

A friend has asked for an ID of this bulb growing in a garden in the 
Transvaal region (old name for the area north of Johannesburg). The 
grower says it has self seeded in an area under a pomegranate tree.

Something along the lines of Homeria?
