I don't suppose anyone has a bulb or seeds of
Moraea macronyx
available at all?

Aha - I will do - possibly in time for a UK sowing
Do you hand-pollinate or do you find plants set seed fine without that?

Hi Rob,
I find that hand pollination is the only way to be sure to get seeds.
Today the two types were in flower so I was able to cross pollinate them,
cheers

PS you will need to remind me!

I've just sowed a few batches of other SA bulb seeds, so I'm just tagging onto this thread here to remind that these need pollinating, or see if there has been any successful seed-set

Hi Rob,
it looks like the hand-pollination was successful, but we'll wait to see when the pod dries out!
cheers

Just posting an update..... seeds arrived safely and had high germination rate last autumn/winter. The pot has started onto growth again now, but far less of the seedlings seem to have pulled through dormancy. Still - very pleased to now have plants!

Hi Rob,
glad you got good germination and hopefully you'll get some to flowering size soon.
I'm hopefully going to have some for the seed exchange this year - ripening now!
cheers
