I agree Ashley it does look like your R. bulbocodium var. clusiana, thanks very much.

David,

The flower size sounds about right for R. rosea from memory.  I did grow it at one point and it was very pretty when in flower.  The ssp australis is smaller, and altogether weedier looking.  ;D

Hi Ashley:

              If the stigma protrudes well beyond the anthers, it is R. bulbocodium var. clusiana. MOST important is to take a note of the bract and bracteole: if they are papyraceous, hyaline, dotted, green, etc.
