Freesia fergusoniae in flower here with me, got some bulbs from Paul last year, first time I ever grown one of the species. Had some greenfly on the unopened buds when the pot was in the greenhouse earlier, but they seem to have recovered thank goodness. They seem to be as easy to grow as the hybrids and scent Is as nice.

Cyrtanthus falcatus in bloom right now in the greenhouse.

524861-0

The green leaves are on Cyrtanthus obliquus.  The falcatus bulbs are completely leafless at the moment.

Geissorhiza monanthos


this is similar to your Geissorhiza monanthos but has yellow pollen.  AGS seed 15-2888 started 15 Jan 2015 as Geissorhiza purple hyb.

is it possible it is not a hyb. Geissorhiza?

Hi Rimmer,
Looking at my plant again I think it might be G. aspera rather than G. monanthos though any advice on this would be most welcome.

What a wonderful Cyrtanthus Jim!!!

Hi Steve
yes reading the 1985 Goldblatt monograph on Geissorhiza, your plant seems to follow the description for G. aspera, but i dont think my plant is the same.
is your stem rough?

This bulb has flowered in a pot that was sown with Trichopetalum plumosum seed!
Thanks to Steve and Rimer, it looks to be Geissorhiza monanthos. What do you think?

Sorry for misleading you Pete. Your plant is not monanthos. I think your plant is a form of aspera, as is mine. There are some images of monanthos on this page: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/GeissorhizaSpeciesThree
