Now I recognise it :)

I give the Lachenalia's an other change in a few years
or maybe in the on-line catalogue
Sometimes it helps if people don't see the bulb ;D

Is there somebody who know how seeds from Dilatris look like
I got a parcel with seeds
it just looks half hollow seeds
it's  just if the seeds are missing if you put two together

Another Massonia postulate and haemanthus deforms are flowering now.
I think I'll have to give the Massonia a bigger pot.. ;)

Here a few close-ups from the Dilatris "seed"
