Two bulbs, one for ID

Post by lancer99 »

Yes, that's pushing the definition of "succulent" a bit. :)

My Scilla violacea/Ledebouria socialis three years ago:

A crazy bloomer:

I finally took pity on the poor thing and replanted it this spring from a 4" to 8" pot. I think it's digging its new digs:

Image

This is the plant I hope someone can help me ID. Sold as Drimiopsis maculata, which it surely isn't. The leaves look similar to L. socialis, but the bulbs are completely different. I thought maybe D. kirkii, but internet searches are getting me more confused. Help!

Thanks!

Almost looks like a Maculata cross, or maybe even a Ledebouria Spotted Lutea or even Ledebouria natalensis.. There are sooooooooooooo many variations to this family.. :D

I know this is an old thread but does anyone know if this plant was ever ID'ed? I have something that looks just like it and have no idea what it is.

Thanks
Danny
