I know, it's a Lachenalia now but I'll continue to go with my label,  Polyxena longituba from seed. I didn't realise the pot had a large clump of grass it it until I taken the pictures. Job for tomorrow!

Very well grown Rimmer!  I have had seedlings several times but never got them past their first dormancy.

Darren
these are difficult!
they love to rot away, mine is in pumice in a tiny clay pot and grown very dry.  close to the lights

but i cheated and started with a bulb that started to rot away last year. I was told to dry out and this is the result. 
i have several pots of seedlings of both hairy and non hairy forms l started in Sept so i will see how they fair,  the hairy form has germinated but the pustulate, non hairy form has not germinated

Best of luck with those seedlings Rimmer - they look good.

Interested in your labels - you seem to have obtained locality data from Silverhill. Did you just request it? It isn't in their catalogues.

Thank you Darren.
Yes if you request it before you order, Rachel can provide provenance, if available.
