This easy to grow bulb produces spikes of these charming wee flowers, followed by lots of seed too. It's easily grown from seed and blooms in its second year (first is possible if sown around christmas time).

A.shawii is very easy from seed and I have some spare if your Mum (or anyone else) is interested.
