The rather strange looking Gladiolus orchidiflorus is now in flower.

As a tip, Babiana lowermost leaves are "sitting" on the ground or inserted in it. If the stem is visible the plant needs to be planted more deeply. Hope this is clear enough.

Our pots are 30 cm. in diameter and 40 cm. deep and they are enough to acommodate many species (if not all). At least it is enough for those mentioned and many others. It is in them that the corms grow huge.

You will not regret it.

The measures I gave are for 20 litre buckets, in case it is of any help.

My 24 litre pots are bad on the tables
