Tiny Treasure with Stripes

This little jewel, Ledebouria cooperi, is a tiny bulb with one leaf and an inflorescence of dusty plum blooms.

Its common name is ‘Jessop.’  It may also be called “Cooper’s False Squill.”

Each plant is smaller than a pinky finger. It lives in tight groups.

I am attaching a former blog, ‘Itty Bitty Jessop’ about this plant below, since I did not wish to dig up bulbs in the rain in my pajamas.
