I've sown and lost macowanii twice but, not to be deterred I sowed another batch in May 2011. I haven't watered the summer growers yet but time will tell!

I have two batches of camerooniana after loosing two previous sowings. One sown October 2010, the other August 2011 on none of my sowing occasions did I realise they were summer growers so Heaven only knows what's happened to them, I'll have to find them.

I have one batch of namaquensis sown May 2011, again they are with my summer growers in the garage not watered yet.

A slightly immature flower and more to come but as I'm likely to be away from home for most of next week I didn't want to waste a photo opportunity.

I enjoy repotting my Romulea species (fondly known as my Romuleans!); they have such interesting 'bulbs'. I also discovered that I have two nearly mature R. hantamensis bulbs after many years of careful cultivation from seed; hopefully they will flower soon as it is such a striking species - has anyone flowered this one before?

Flowered it Rogan? I hadn't even heard of it. I looked it up in Goldblatt, Manning and Snijman and it's very pretty. The flower shape in the picture I saw made it look a bit like the trochopteranthum of the Romulea world.
