A few more Acis autumnalis are in bloom - it seems to be a good season - hopefully I'll manage to collect some seeds!

Hi there,
Very nice clumps. One of my favourites. I grow Acis autumnalis and Acis autumnalis rosea. I find that A. autumnalis does very well with me but I have problems with the rosea form. It seems to be much weaker and definitely not as hardy. I am down to a few bulbs now and have them in the Alpine house to try and bulk them up again. Its shorter in flower and the leaves are slightly broader and tend to be more horizontal. It is a delicate pink when I can get it to flower. May be a separate species?

Acis autumnalis grows wild here (dunes in Mid West France along the Atlantic ocean) but I have never seen a pink form.

Acis autumnalis
is not a wild species in France, maybe feral population ? (even if I've never heard of this kind of population before).
A. autumnalis
is from Spain, Portugal and Marocco.
Acis rosea
is a different species from
A. autumnalis
. It is a small species endemic from Corsica and Sardinia

Many thanks Karaba on the info on Acis rosea. I always assumed it was the same species. I have had it for years under autumnalis rosea. It would explain why it doesn't seem to like wet cold winters and why its leaves seem to be flatter an more horizontal. Its a lot shorter in height as well. I will keep it in the alpine house from now on. Hopefully I will be able to bulk them up or perhaps get some seed if they flower. I did have quite a number of bulbs but I am afraid they lay too wet over the last few years. If I get seed I will post on here to see if anyone would like some.

Nearly 2 months after the first Acis autumnalis var oporantha started in the main rock garden another colony has just started!
These might be the var oporanthum
