My little contribution to the South African bulb display: Tulbaghia simmlerii. It is one of the few plants that I grow in pots!

I always look forward to seeing your M. aristata Michael and I'm pleased it survived the winter. After many years of waiting I now finally have buds on mine. I will NOT be amused if they turn out to be something else  ;)

Pity

it would be good to have fresh LN material
to compare from what is in the trade as bulbs
I have never seen seeds from Babiana rubrocyanea
in the trade

Agreed.

I'm sure I once bought seed from Silverhill about ten years ago but got no germination, and I have not seen it listed since either.

I have the experience with LN South African Babiana seeds
They are best sown in October
the ones I have sown in Febr germinate poor here
the Oct ones almost 100 %
the Babiana seeds I collect here (France) are sown fresh
and germinate in a few weeks

Arnold

Are you sure this is Babiana rubrocyanea
or is this the diversity
and the plants we have
are very good selections
I got mine from Peter Moore
they will flower in a week or so
