Romulea 2014

Arnold,
 I have these photos from a couple of weeks ago, it is a part of the area,
there is another section for plants that need to be grown in shade here such as Cyclamen.
Each bed is 5m x 1.2m and 20cm high.
The Oncocyclus and other desert species grow in 40cm high beds.
I left the germination area with about 600 little plastic squares in my garden as i check them at least a couple of times a day...

Impressive Oron , good to see how other growers in other countrys  create their "plantparadise" ....
This is certainly a bulbparadise and a great space for bulblovers ......

Although a common species, I couldn't resist to post this photo of my native Romulea bulbocodium. It took many years to get this clump, the only cares have been pulling out the weeds, let it self sown and...stepping over a bit in summer !!! You can't believe, but Romuleas thrive in very hard soils !

Superb plant!

I sometimes feel that Romuleas do not get the credit they deserve as fine plants-  I hope the photos shown here of their lovely range of colours will convince anyone that they are worth growing.

I agree. Every bit as desirable as Crocus!

I agree with Maggi !

Romulea macowanii from the 2009/2010 seed exchange (63/3272 & 3273)

Plants in the foreground of the first picture came as R. macowanii var. alticola, but apart from being slightly smaller seem otherwise identical to those labelled R. macowanii. 
Can anyone please tell me whether these two are synonyms or whether var. alticola is somehow distinct?
