I thought Streptocarpus?

Are you sure that you meant to say that, Drc? The other alternative could be an allium as it is a bit early yet for our ornithogalum.

Depends where Hookie live Mr MB. Denise definitely not Streptocarpus.

And Streptocarpus doesn't grow from bulbs.

I was loking at the leaves and did not read the bulb bit Lol

I agree that it is most likely to be Ornitholagum

Denise there are Primula type leaves... but they are totally separate to the strap l
