Looks wonderful and very healthy, Hans, and the position against the background shows the shape and colour off to perfection  8)

Your H collina is a great colour Hans! I have usually seen a much paler version of it.

Hans,
that is a stunning colour for that homeria (now re-classified as moraea, I believe).
Autumn is a good time for South African bulbs here:
Oxalis flava (mauve-pink form)
208289-0

208291-1

Oxalis ciliaris
208293-2

Oxalis massoniana
208295-3

Oxalis hirta "Rosea"
208301-4

and a trio of flowers on Oxalis melanosticta "Ken Aslett"
208297-5

208299-6

And Moraea polstachya has finally started flowering here,
208303-7

208305-8

cheers

Hi Hans,
if you some spare I'd love to try it. It's allowed into Australia under either name!

Lesley,
3 flowers out of a 6" pan isn't a howling success, but a few more may follow! ;D I think it's only the second time I've had a flower on them! No sign of any from O. palmifrons though.
cheers
