Velthaemia bracteata is indeed a handsome fellow, the leaves are an intense deep shiny green with the edges scalloped attractively.
Nice to see the bloom of your yellow form jmorth.I bought seed from England of this yellow form last year ,with a half dozen quickly sending up a small leaf.In another spring catalogue was advertised bulbs of this yellow form, so thinking they would be flowering/near flowering size, I purchased 3. The damned things were barely past the germinated stage and weren't cheap either.Apparently the yellow form does not breed true, so the additional purchase was for insurance.They are all thriving now, so I'm happy.This yellow form is still fairly rare in Australia.
