Well done Angie - smashing.  Did you grow it from SRGC seed?  Still waiting for mine to flower one day.

No, I am not very good with seeds. Do you want a bulb ?

John not big at all. I have managed to get two pots now so my thinking is share now. Its good to share and if I lose mine I can always ask for a wee bulb back  ;D. Well thats my thinking anyway.

This is just starting to flower now - I think I got a bloom last year as well,
It's from seed from NARGS Seedex 2006 as Leucocoryne vittata, but is probably a hybrid,

Leucocoryne are reputed to be difficult to germinate. I never had success.

is there a temperature regime to apply?
I'll try next batch with GA3 but i'm not convinced it'll help in the germination process.

Hi Yann,
I can only tell you what I did - which didn't involve anything too strenuous!
I sowed the seeds in autumn on top of a freely draining potting mix and covered it with coarse grit; the pot would've been left outside through the winter but we only get mild frosts (down to -7oC at most); the seeds germinated and were grown on and the first flower was in 2009.

I've got them to germinate from AGS seed quite easily - however as none have flowered I can't guarentee they actually are Leucocoryne  ;D
