This came to me as Tulbaghia leucantha. Thanks to Liz Powney and the National Collection at Prime Perennials for setting it straight.

Plants of the World online says:

"The native range of this species is E. Cape Prov. to KwaZulu-Natal. It is a bulbous geophyte and grows primarily in the subtropical biome."

The Pacific Bulb Society says:

"Tulbaghia montana Vosa is a high mountain species found in the Drakensberg. The perianth segments are gray edged with white and the corona is orange. Height: 18 cm."
