B. litoralis?
Hi Tim,
It is not in this picture ... but I remember seeing a plastic sign at this patch last fall, identifying it as B.litoralis, as the new leaves were emerging. Also, based on my limited knowlege ... the leaves appeared more similar to B.litoralis than B.josephinae ... and the bulbs do not protrude above the ground as I have seen in B.josephinae. Of course, the final word is out ... I suppose these could be a hybrid or some other Brunsvigia altogether. Ken Last edited by amarguy; 10-02-2009 at 02:25 PM. Reason: correction

B.litoralis vs B.josephinae leaves
My observations on a limited number of both species ... the leaves I've seen on mature B.litoralis seem to be no more than 2" wide and perhaps 8-12" long, blue-grey in color with a slight to moderate twist in them. In the shot I posted, you can see the dried leaves may have seemed to fit those dimensions. Leaves I've seen on mature B.josephinae seem to be much larger ... wider - perhaps 8-10" wide and 18-20 inches long, with no discernable twist.

Thanks Ken,
I will bear that in mind. Pictures on the internet seem to concentrate on flowers. T
