Oron that is a stunning photo - need to think about seeds of these now.

Thanks Pat,

I'm afraid the form in cultivation is a triploid and is sterile therefore no seeds
but bulbs divide easily to form big clumps in just  few years time.

Pat,

I grow a few different Rhodophiala, but have yet to flower a dark one like that.

Thanks for the great pics folks.  So strange to see them in spring!!  ;D
Cheers.

I've got this plant as Zephyranthes grandiflora. Obviously it is not.

Does anyone has an idea, what it could be?
