which specie is this lachenalia ?

Just bought this exotic beauty. It mentions the name Lachenalia, but not the specie.
I looked in the plant files and didn't find a similar one, so I would like to add it.
Anybody knows its second name ?

Looks like it could be 'Rupert'

That was quick!! I think you're right Gemini, although mine looks more leaning towards the blue than the purple, but that can be due to different light conditions in photographing.
Thank you so much!!

You're welcome! I though B&Bs looked more purplish too, but the background looks dark so probably lighting. Such a gorgeous plant- I must try some :)

Bonitin, try this site, they have some photos, you might find a match.

I am a fern hound this week.

Thank you dale-a-gardener. I tried, but didn't find a matching picture of mine, interesting though to discover that there is such an impressive amount of species and varieties.
What a nice fern! Looks like it has something to do with the maidenhair family. It looks so deliciously warm in your picture, I must confess I am a little envious.
