Just an up date to the dwarf 30cm high green Galtonia I have been growing. I have three replies, the first was within a week from a South African nursery who was adamant Galtonia viridiflora is variable, and there are shorter growing species to be found growing wild. The second reply came for a dutch bulb nurseryman specialists who grows a large number of Galtonia, he was also quite clear that Galtonia viridiflora has a number of shorter growing forms. Finally and more recent, a reply from Australia who grows a similar variety to mine. He wanted to call it a selected variety (I'm not reprinting his unaccepted name suggestion here, unnecessary) However, it seems I do not have a unique species or variety. I does also seem to be available in the wild and cultivation, if a nurseryman would like to select out the shorter forms. Never-the-less I like my dwarf 30cm green Galtonia and will enjoy exhibiting it next year at shows.
