Something very appealing about that colour combination Arnold.


By the way, "the Bulb Garden" the PBS journal, complete with article from Angelo Porcelli , arrived in Aberdeen yesterday - thanks!

Have to agree!
Quite a common colour combo in the American succulents, but is it so common in SA? I'm a bit green about the ears when it comes to SA plants, so forgive me if it's a dumb question!

My Lachenalia bulbifera does not look that colorful when it blooms.  I think Arnold has an especially nice plant.

Tatsuo,
did you grow this from seed? If so, how long did it take to flower? It looks exceedingly lovely :)
cheers

Hello fermi,
No, I grow this one from a small flowering size plant since 2010. I got few seeds from this plants in 2010 season and gave them all. And it didn't set any seeds in last season so I'm not sure it sets fertile seeds by self pollination so far.

Gladiolus maculatus.

Usually opens its first flowers at the end of December so it is a little late this year. This clone is the most strikingly marked in the (seed-raised) pot and is always the first to open too. It has a very strong scent.
