'Hallmark' has 2-tone orange and yellow flowers. Plain species has yellow. But I don't think that is frutescens, the inflorescence is very sparse in that one.

I had one that looked very similar to this - it used to seed around all over the place. I may even have it somewhere in the garden. Never had a name for it, though.

I checked my other plant and it was infact the same name as the other one I posted earlier. Bulbine frutescens
No flowers yet it's been a bit on the dry side. will put on the repot list. I know what you mean about the flowers now on this one they are much closer together.

Yes, I meant the growth form too, not just the flower. Mine is a branched shrub but with shorter leaves.
