Lachenalia rubida bronze foliage

Lachenalia rubida, with bronze foliage

This bulb of Lachenalia rubida came through the IBS BX a year ago, from Longwood Gardens. I especially like the bronze foliage on this selection.

Does anyone know if it has a "proper" name?

L. rubida is the first to bloom. Following close behind it in my
greenhouse is Lachenalia viridiflora, which I posted to the Bulb Images list last year.
