Dear Marilyn,
Most of us consider the Lachenalia 'Pearsonii' you are talking about as a
cultivar of L. aloides, which is one of best species in my opinion. I love
all of varieties I grow. In the Hobbs and Hatch book on bulbs (New Zealand
authors), they write under the descriptions from L. aloides : 'Pearsonii'
is a widely grown selection with bright scarlet-orange flowers edged with
red. It was raised in New Zealand and has long been considered to be a
hybrid but is now thought to be a form of L. aloides. It should not be
confused with the species L. pearsonii."
