I have nothing to add - except that Mr Ryk Tulbagh has a lot of interesting plants named after him!

I hope mine will be that nice, Michael.  I have another crop of seedlings, and this time I did not let the bulbs freeze (accidentally) over the winter!

 

Are those all individual seedlings, or have they multiplied over the years?

I did indeed Fermi. Seed was sown in January 2008 and my records show first flowers in July 2009.

Rick,

it does have the look of a gladdie at the initial flowering stage.

Here it is a week later

Babiana spathacea

Here is a little gladdie which is quite common in Melbourne but I've only just got it back here in the country,

Gladiolus carneus

We've had a clump of the Ixia viridiflora hybrid known as "Teal Blue" or "Amethystina" for quite awhile in our Rock garden

and now some of the self-sown seedlings are showing a bit of variation in color,

Wow, now those are some long floral tubes!  Like a crocus!

 

But I think more like F. laxa 'Joan Evans'.  Alba seems to be pure white, but I'm only a novice here.
