Sounds good, Toko, here is a pic from internetToko wrote:Flutterby wrote:Here are some to keep somebody busy for a while.
the blue "thingie" is not the same, but it might be an autumn development 
I think you are right with the Bulbine frutescens, Lis
and the other one looks like Elzet's, but the leaves are different, maybe the one Toko mentioned B. aloides also has thick short wide leaves that resemble an Aloe.Flutterby wrote:For the Bulbine what about this one?

There are a few species that look similar.
Bulbine frutescens, Lily Family: ( Asphodelaceae (~Liliaceae)), Yellow African Bulbine. Also called: Bulbinella and Burn Jelly Plant" ???
Could well be. This is a fairly common garden plant. But need to see the leaves to be sure.
I also think that it is likely that it is Bulbine frutescens. It is a common garden plant. But need to see the leaves to be sure.Toko wrote:
There is another yellow one (B. natalensis), but it has thicker succulent-like leaves, and as far as one can see on Poplap's pic, the leaves are long and not thick.
I agree. The blue stamens fit better.Toko wrote: Aneilema aequinoctiale fits better than Commelina africana
These were all taken at Mpenjati on the South Coast, and the flowers are very small - no bigger than a 20c piece.
