Indigenous to this area in South Africa; flowering in the garden

The Bluebells - also in flower in the garden

Word has it that long ago the - then - lady of the house went on holiday to the UK.
She fell in love with a field of Bluebells (like the one at Coton Manor Garden)
and smuggled some bulbs back to South Africa . . .
Now we know we have these beautiful flowers scattered all over in the garden
we are considering planting all together . . . the fields of Bluebells are spectacular
