Albuca BB sp2 rupestris?

Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
This accession of the genus Albuca (Asparagaceae) is likely close to Albuca rupestris, though the identification is not confirmed. Native to KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, where it grows in rocky, sandy soils of grasslands and scrubland, this bulbous plant forms low, sometimes mat-forming clumps of long, narrow, grey-green leaves. The unbranched flowering stem bears striped, star-shaped white to yellow-green flowers typical of the genus. Flowering occurs in spring and summer. Cultivation requires very free-draining soil, a sunny position, and a pronounced dry dormancy outside the growing season.
