I skipped over Freesia, or rather I checked out species on google images from silverhillseeds but they don't have it, it doesn't resemble Freesia.

is quite a collector's plant. It is found on stony clay and limestone in the north and south western Cape of South Africa, and flowers appear very early from late winter into spring. This curiosity must have a warm, sheltered rock garden or be grown in a pot to be viewed close-up

I'm glad you found it Danita, now I'm tempted to buy seeds. I've tried growing many South African bulbs from seed, some grew well and I got flowers on a few, but cold summers and winters when we get them, which is often, eventually makes it a difficult job to keep them alive.
