Can anyone identify this one. I think it would have come from Darren or Hans J.

Hi Hans

Remember you told me to log my plants , well I looked up the name you gave me but I didn't have anything under Zephyranthes but under Habranthus I have this Habranthus tubispathus   S/American. I hadn't written down who I got it from.
Thanks Hans.

It's Habranthus tubispathus, which has a synonym of Habranthus/Zephyranthes andersonii.  It regularly appears in seed exchanges under all sorts of interest names... unfortunately.  Usually under names of things that look absolutely nothing like it.  ::)

You can say that again...and again...and again.   Reason to avoid all Rhodophiala seed offered.

I must have been given bulbs as I would never have managed it from seed, I am hopeless. Hey wait a minute ( just thinking to myself ) I have tiny bulbs that I have grown from seed that I got from Hans J, so I am not that hopeless   ;) :) :) :) :)
