South African Bulbs 2015

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

I don't think that Paul T posted pics of his that year.
Interestingly the pics pf Ixia polystachya on the PBS sitehttp://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/IxiaFour look a lot like some of the seedlings we're getting from 'Tea'" which might be why it is sometimes believed to be the other parent (of 'Teal')
cheers

No pix - but he mentions similar variations  which he seemed not  to doubt were  within the ID, which seemed to chime with other comments here and there.   Only difference I can see with yours is a slight difference in throat colour from the various pix of the species available  - what  do you  see to make you doubt it?

Arnold/Rimmer - thanks for sharing your experiences of using fluoros and HIDs. Indoor growing under lights seems to be much more popular in the States than in the UK, thereagain we don't have to cope with such extreme winter temperatures! As you say, the various types of fluorescent lamps are much cheaper to run than halides/sodium lights and LEDs would be even more cost efficient (I'm starting to replace my house halogen downlighters with LEDS). As I suspected though, it's the start-up costs of an LED set-up that's the killer at the moment. Perhaps as they become more popular the prices may start to fall? They run much cooler than flouros and HIDs of course which is a bonus.

 am hoping to switch to using LED lights for propagation-does anyone have experience to share in this regard

 Paul mentions LED lights in this post ....http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=15942.msg398944#msg398944 
Several other mentions of growing under lights in the forum - but often fluorescent.... 
here are a few more posts  that might give you a lead on who to ask for help....
