Thanks all. I don't think we have all that many South American escapees.

It is a genus no one dares with. Imagine that there are species with three or four different fenotypes all growing in the same spot. Like Fritillaria bucharica, imperialis, purdyi and michailovskii all growing together in the same location but ALL with identical disposition of the sex organs. And there are NO intermediates. Very unusual.

Alberto, this sounds like a challenge for someone!  Do the different forms breed true?  What happens when two distinct forms are crossed?  This sounds most curious.

Jim
The ones I grow seed true Jim, and I'm fairly sure I grow the one Pat Pictured. I'm just not sure of the naming. Alberto could you hazard a guess at the name of it please?

Here are a few more of the not so well known species from South Africa flowering at the moment.
Both of the interesting, Wurmbea recurva and the Ornithogalum maculatum species make excellent, colourful pot plants.
The Gladioli species like Gladiolus debilis and Gladiolus ecklonii are always charming, easy to grow and most provide a beauty and elegans missing from modern large flowering hybrids.
Can anyone ID the other Gladiolus species please?

Very, very cool pics, Bill.  I just love that Wurmbea.  Never seen anything quite like it.  The orange Ornithogalum is glorious..... I've tried the orange O. dubium but can never get to break dormancy again unfortunately..... now that I know there are other orange ones I must try to find them.  ;D  And those Gladiolus are brilliant!! 8)

Thanks for showing us.
