red form of G. papilio- I wonder how to get the true form?????


Every year I grow seeds from an exchange, and haven't ever had a papilio different from the dowdy one I already have.

Crossyne flava now in seed.
Only 4 flower-heads this year so probably only about 1,200 seeds likely ;D
You know the drill!

This one popped up in a pot of miniature Narcissus.

A glad, but which?

Looks a bit like a homoglossum-glad hybrid, maybe?

I have a very unusual bulb flowering at the moment: Eriospermum lancifolium (I think) - the individual flowers are quite small but, are quite charming when all are open together and releasing a soft, sweet scent, reminiscent of Alyssum or May. The large, textured leaves are very striking indeed.

Rogan,

Eriospermum lancifolium is very fascinating. Both the flowers and foliage are somewhat reminiscent of our native California species, Chlorogalum pomeridianum, Soap Plant. The flowers of Chlorogalum open at night and have a nice fragrance. The white flowers are small and not very showy but the fragrance is worth while as long as the plant is in a somewhat out-of-the-way site.

Arnold,

The mystery Glad is quite nice. Seems like a keeper to me.  :)

I enjoy seeing the blooming Lachenalias too. I like the species that have spotted foliage. Maybe they all do?  ???  I clearly do not know. Anyway thank you for sharing.  :)
