The brilliant red Rhodophiala appeared from nowhere a few days ago.  First flowering fort me & a challenge to capture the true red.

Common sterile Rhodophiala bifida oxblood lily

Hi Rimmer,
nice pics! When you say that the ox-blood form is sterile is that just because it's self-sterile? Have you tried pollen from another clone on it - such as he pink - before?

Funny

Here are also flowering my Rhodophiala bifida ( first watering on 01. September )

Nr. 1 +3 are also Rhodophiala bifida "Oxblood Lily "
Nr. 2 - I have received this plants before many years as Rhodophiala bifida "Pink" ( but it is for me not really pink )

I have tried yesterday to cross pollinate this plants ...we will see
In memory is that I have made this polliantion before some years ...and it works

Nothoscordum ostenii and in the 3rd pic, comparing it to Nothoscordum felipponei which the Pacific Bulb Society seems to think are the same
I only have one plant of it left so hope it will set some seed this year,
cheers

Fermi my delayed reply is due to looking for these books. This is a triploid plant
