I believe I have 3 ... which have yet to flower. They were originally small bulbs, labelled as B.gregaria, but the foliage growth appears more like that as documented for B.grandiflora, resembling Boophone disticha's spreading fan of twisty leaves. My 3 bulbs produce leaves in August, which last through late spring and have gone deciduous for only 2 months. I too, am a bit confused, not only because these were sold as B.gregaria, but because the growth cycle seemed counter to those of bulbs from summer rainfall areas of S.A. - Ken
