I received this as seed of a Syringodea , but I'm thinking more of a Moraea.

Veltheimia bracteata is fine pot plant becoming very popular for its foliage and flowers. V. capensis is a lot more difficult to grow being an arid land plant. Its foliage is greyish and more wavy than bracteata. Plenty of images in the web for comparison.

The Syringodea is most likely Moraea setifolia.

Here's Lachenalia arbuthnotii, named after Miss Isobel A. Arbuthnot ( 1870-1963) botanical assistant at Bolus Herbarium until 1939.

Gladiolus virescens, sown 2010. Nice plant, but I was a bit disappointed because this species is usually scented, occasionally unscented... but I've got the occasionally one  :(

Lovely flower even if unscented. All these species gladioli are fascinating, I love the colour-change one and beautiful markings on Rafa's carinatus.

Going through some neglected pots I knocked this out today. It is labelled Gladioplus splendens, 7 bulbs apparently acquired at the AGS AGM in October 2010. Not sure if it has produced anything but fine leaves since then. It has been at a minimum of ~-5C under glass.
Advice please.

Angelo,
I'm impressed by the gladdies you grow!
I've posted pics of a couple of nerines on this thread http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10311.0 including Nerine rosea which is stunning in the bleakness of our garden at present!
cheers

Steve looks like well grown plants do you provide supplementary light?

Hi Arnold, no I don't use any supplementary lighting so plants can get a bit drawn in our poor, winter light-levels.

Cheers, Steve
