First flowering of two Albucas (aurea and shawii), both from seed sown in 2008,
growing in a raised bed in the garden.

3 years to flower seems a good time, Diane. Have they been planted outside for long?

I planted the albucas outside last August.  So, two years in a pot
and one year in the ground.

Here they are three weeks in flower now

what I like after flowering
the seed-pod is still very attractive
and stays there till the winter comes (December)

Dave the Geissorhiza heterostyla is very special not one i have seen before.

I raised it from NZAGS seed Davey ,sown Aug 07.First flowering this season.

It's not a large flower, each individual one about a mans large finger nail in size ,(depends on how often one cuts ones nails   ::) ;D) .
Mine have a 5 flowered spike over foliage of about 25cm in height . Currently growing in a pot outside all year round unprotected ,it has coped with light frosts of -3c.

There are a number of seedlings in the pot with another one just about to bloom so it will be interesting to see if there is any variation in colouring.

Hopefully it will set seed --if you are interested just PM with your snail mail details.

Cheers Dave.
