One from the greenhouse today- Hesperantha huttonii grown from Exchange seed sown March 2008 and the only one to survive from the batch.

Fermi, I feel so jealous every time I see your avatar.  I bought a bulb of Romulea sabulosa way back before 1980 and while it increased it never flowered.  I left it behind when I retired (like most of my southern hemisphere bulbs).  I don't know if it will still be there as no-one else was interested in tender bulbs.  Babiana pygmaea, grown from seed  flowered for a year or two and even set seed then didn't flower for years but flowered the year after I retired.

Very nice Peter, in some quarters it's called Gladiolus murialae now.

Upto this winter when I lost the lot I was able to grow them in the garden and leave them through the winter without lifting them.
