Some of them flower quicker that other. Lurida can flower three years from seed, most of the others about four.

This Moraea polyanthos is right on cue then - it is from NZAGS Seedex 2011 (but actually sown in July 2012)

Lachenalia pusilla Didn't expect these to flower so soon, sown Jan 2012, so didn't pot them on this year. Hope when they are better spaced the leaves will prostrate themselves, or is this affected by light levels?

I am enjoying the flowers of two late-season bulbs at the moment: Tritonia deusta, carpeting the ground in places and T. flabellifolia with more modest flowers, peeking out here and there:

I got this Ixia polystachya from Greg Boldiston at Longinomus Plants - he wasn't sure that it's correctly named, but the entry on the PBS site says it can be variable - though it doesn't match any of the pics there!
Any comments or suggestions?
cheers

I think it's within the accepted variation, isn't it?    Paul T. mentioned   some which sound very like it here : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=4639.msg119518#msg119518
