Fred, Pancratium tenuifolium  is a summergrowing bulb. It is much sensible to water and rots easily.

Flowering in my plant room, first time for me;
Freesia laxa ssp azurea, or is it Fessia laxa 'Azurea' ? Seen it listed both ways!
Have posted F.laxa 'Plum Hybrid' for comparison.
Cheers

I started this Cyanella orchidiformis off a month earlier than usual and it has responded with better growth form and it will probably have a much denser flowered spike. In the UK this always baceme rather etiolated.

Maggi - Thanks for the move!! Senior moment I think.....
