That's very strange, wallaby that the leaves can change from narrow to broad! when I looked at your pic. first I thought they could be the leaves of F.palidiflora...

I was curious about my F. whitallii, planted in a pot and that had only some spiny leafs now dying off. The bulb got a bit larger and made some tiny offset bulbs attached to it. I have put it into the ground a couple of days ago, and hope I'll remember where later on, I just don't like to put labels in my garden, they do disturb..

Yes, Patti, one of my F.palidiflora is rather strange too; its has three flowers of which one is full, the second on has two extra petals (half-full?) and the third is normal. The second one has only two flowers but still in a young stage.

It is just very difficult to take a good picture of it. It's like the camera has difficulty to focus on it or more probably my lack of knowledge how to do it.
The one on the left is really full, the middle one half full and the third 'normal'
