Could you take a closeup of the anthers please. This is needed to make sure it is not Bulbine bulbosa.

I have added a closeup - hope this is sufficient. What is the difference in the anthers? The plant was supposed to be a bulbine glauca and planted as such.

Bulbine bulbosa has basifixed anthers which are attached at the base and sticking up straight. Bulbine glauca has dorsifixed anthers which are attached in the middle of the back of the anther. See http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&glossary=yes&term=basifixed&ill=Fig.+20+B for diagrams. Even the second photo does not actually show the anthers, only the hairs on the filaments of the stamens.
