Cris,

I'd been growing Zeph minima for about 3 or 4 years before I ever managed to see a flower of it open.  They're only open for a few hours.  Once the clump establishes enough you do tend to get a bunch of flowers, which increases the chance of seeing some of them open by quite a bit.  ;D

Simon,

I too have to comment on your Hannonia hesperidum, albeit somewhat belatedly.  I've only caught up with this topic now, after a month or more.  Could you tell us more about this one?  I've never even heard of the genus before.

Thanks in anticipation.  8)

Paul, I have had the Hannonia since 2003 and it has slowly increased from 1 to 4 bulbs. These look like they will split again this year and I also finally have seed set on a few of the flowers. It flowers well for me here after a dry summer rest. Apart from that all I know is that it is rare in the wild and from Morocco. Its leaf form and growth habit are very similar to Vagaria olivieri- though to me its flowers look more like Lapiedra.

Hi Paul T, it's realy difficult to get the flowers opened. A few days ago they were some to open, but when I saw it it was already forming the seed. Oh what a difficult plant ::)

Hi Alessandro, I was searching a bit and found one that seem mine: Zeph. flavissima. It has the extremity of the leaves more pointed. What do you think?

Hi
Can you help me to identify this plant?

It belongs to a friend, but is still without surname.

It reminds me of a pale robusta, but I don't think the shape is quite right?
