The SOuth Africans are just getting going, and there look to be lots of buds waiting for the right time shortly. Anyway, Moraea tricolor is open today - you have to be quick to catch these open!

They smell divine as well.

Moraea Lurida- smells not so good. I wish we could get a wider range of colours.

Geissorhiza corrugata - first year flowering from sowing 2 years ago. The leaves aren't doing their spiral thing: probably not enough sunlight over winter, or maybe just a youth thing.

658737-0 658739-1

Hesperantha vaginata

658741-2

Lachenalia hybrid (I think this is probably 'Romaud') - has a lovely strong scent that fills the greenhouse.

658743-3

That Duabenya is stunning. I gave up trying to grow Duabenya so it’s great seeing it in perfection.
