This is Habranthus martinezii and this species is native to Argentina and Uruguay and was first identified by Revenna in 1972. It has large, solitary white (usually, but can be pinkish too) flowers with a really nice brownish-purplish-reddish throat and obviously begin blooming in late March here. It is closely related to Habranthus tubispathus but the blooms are larger; almost as large as H. brachyandrus. This is a very robust grower and offsets easily. Recommended for growing in zones 8-10.

This shot shows the base pretty well--its a good 6-8" tall (the bloom scape) too.
