[David Nicholson]

I suppose that is a possibility Hans, anyone have other information??

[Michael J Campbell]

David, I think it should be Habranthus andersonii, there is a pic here.

Nice, well worth growing. Thanks Hans and Michael.

I see, from the Kew Checklist, that Habranthus andersonii is a synonym of H. tubispathus

Hi:

     

      Hendersonii is a Triteleia. The most common Habranthus is H. tubispathus that for long was known as H. andersonii. The name andersonii is still used despite the long time it has benn invalid and it is common to see in collections both tubispathus and andersoni as separate plants.


Best regards

Hi Alberto, many thanks for your input, it is great to have access to your knowledge and experience on the Forum. I'm going to need a very big pot label when I sow these seeds so that I can write all the possibilities on it.   Are you aware please if the seeds of Triteleia and Habranthus look similar?

[Ezeiza]

Hi David:

            No, the Triteleia are black and round, like Allium seed. In Habranthus, Zephyranthes, and other the seeds are like black very thin round "paper" circles of half circles, a lot  larger than Triteleia seed.

Thanks Alberto, the seeds I have are Habranthus seeds then.

I was most interested to see a photo of Crinum stuhlmannii posted to the PBS wiki by Rogan Roth ...

Time to revive this thread as the rain-lilies are flowering again for us!
Zephyranths "Grandjax"

Z. "Ajax"

Habranthus martinezii (but maybe just a pink H. tubispathus)

H. tubispathus

And its "Apricot" or "Salmon" form,

And a seedling raised from the H. robustus selection "Russell Manning"

[arillady]

Fermi some pretty fine flowers there. I like the 'Grandjax' especially

I'll do you a swap for some of your white calostemmas!
cheers

Will be happy to Fermi when they flower so that I can plot the exact spots. They are not all that thrilling as they are not a clean white as far as I remember. The pink calostemmas always stand out so much better.
