Michael,

They would be very interesting to try outdoors here.

I'm getting my bulb import permit renewed, I hope.  We can try and see if they will let them in without a phyto, once I get the new permit.  I'll be in touch.  Thanks!

David:

That's 95 F outside the greenhouse. Shade cloth is on the way.  My Crinums last about a day in flower.

Have never had a Watsonia flower despite planting deeply, that and Wachendorfia baffle me.  Wonderful one in your garden Michael!

It was 28c here today with 64% humidity.   Down to 22c now at 22:15.  Feels like Sumatra.  I'd expire if the Amorphophallus came into bloom in this steam bath.

Freesia laxa alba Purissima
or whatever for a name is really correct

This is the pure white form
without any trace of red
Michael send me the bulbs (thanks again)
I am happy because they are really white
and not as so often with a red blotch

A nice little South African bulb flowering at the moment. One of the few survivors from the seed I grew afer deciding we were really  Zone 8. Then we had the 2 bad winters  ::)
Any idea what it is?

Susan,

I suppose your little beauty is an Ixia. Maybe Ixia dubia

Thanks Thomas and David, I did order a lot of Ixia seed from silverhills.
 Ronald, I don't know if the bulbs were planted out before the cold winters or were still in their seed pots indoors. Time will tell if they are hardy.
