Synonym(s) Hypoxis baurii Common name red star Family hypoxidaceae Life cycle tender perennial (Z8-10) Flowers pink Size 6" Light sun-part shade Cultural notes needs sharply drained soil Small bulb from South Africa, suitable for rock gardens. I purchased it from a catalog that claimed it was hardy here (Z6-10), online information doesn't support that claim - and sure enough, it did not return the following year. The photos were taken the first time I noticed any growth where I planted the bulbs. It doesn't exactly look like other photos I've seen, so the ID is tentative...

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
