A joy for those who like strange plants, this South African bulbs is very easy as long as it is not subjected to too much frost. Perfect for pot culture. The blooming plant here was bought as a bulb - smaller plants are 4, 3, and one year from seed. Wonderful, yet suble scent. Likes a very dry summer.

This is the same plant I posted flowering. It seems most of the flowers took, and now the seed capsules are swelling to ripeness.
