Re: mystery plant? 800pixels pic


Sure looks and sound like Bulbine frutescens to me. It grows like crazy here in LA, it will grow in a little shade but flowers much more in the sun. I have both the yellow and orange forms on my hillside garden. Only hard thing for me with it is that weeding the grass that establishes in between it is a bit difficult without pulling out the plant--but whatever comes out roots somewhere else easily.

I have been given this plant .  It has small orange coloured flowers on long stalks which are in abundance now.  It very pretty and was in quite a shady garden but I am told it likes sun. It is so lovely and I would like very much to grow it. I cannot find it any of my succulent or Mediterranean garden books. What is it and any growing tips, please.
Thank  you
