Drimiopsis maculata looks very much like the photo above; also very slow to re-emerge this season. I can show you photo's, but they are rather boring.

I also have two other, as of yet, unidentified (to me anyway) Ledebouria species.

The next species is Scilla pauciflora. In the PlantFiles, this species is listed as a syn. for Ledebouria socialis--but it is a distinctly seperate species. I also have a collection of plants loosely falling under the umbrella of "scilla's" and think they are quite interesting too. They are native from Europe thru Africa. This particular one has been narrowed out to fall either in with the scilla's (and for a number of quite a number of technical but very valid reasons) or in with the Ledebouria's--which it actually resembles less. This one is under active study by many people. I thought it rather generous to throw up a couple of bud scapes at one year old--sure makes the study easier.
