Seed: Ornithogalum sp. This one came from seed from NARGS as Ornithogalum gifbergensis. Robin Attrill suggested the correct name for it should be Ornithogalum gifbergense. On the Australian list I had these helpful comments from Julian Slade when I was trying to sort it out: "Ornithogalum gifbergense is indeed a valid name recently published, now sunk into another recently published species, O. ciliiferum. Ornithogalum ciliiferum is closely related to O. pilosum. Both have a few, rather boat-like leaves bearing very long hairs. They also flower rather late, in November and December. The flowers are small, white stars in a very lax raceme." I responded: My plant does have small white stars and it bloomed for me last year from June to September (translated Dec to Mar). But the leaves are thin, more grass-like than boat-like and they are not hairy so perhaps it is something else. He responded: "I think the plant in question is related to either O. nannodes, O. juncifolium, or O. graminifolium (or related species). The taxonomy of these species are quite a mess at the moment." So who knows, but this one stays evergreen if you water it and blooms summer, fall, even has a very few blooms right now. So I am not sure how to classify it. SE? Plants: Ledebouria cooperii-From the summer rainfall area of South Africa. Pretty green leaves with purplish spots, pink flowers. I think this is very attractive, but I'm not doing very well with it in my dry summers since it comes from damp grassland. I wasn't sure when to divide these and this may be too early (they looked dormant). I sent Dell quite a few of these. Limited quantities of these: Oxalis magnifica--These are descendents of bulbs I got from Uli. This was his description: "Oxalis magnifica from Oaxaca, Mexico. vigorous and tall plants with multi-segmented palmate leaves and relatively small pink flowers in bunches on long stalks well above the foliage. A well grown pot (I have to grow them in pots) is quite impressive. I strongly recommend pot culture and great care when repotting because they multiply quickly and may become weedy in frost free climates." Note from msi: Summer growing, doesn't seem to be multiplying as quickly for me as some of the South African species Oxalis triangularis--Also from Uli. His description: "Or is this my best Oxalis? Deep purple large trifoliate leaves with a pink centre. The individual segment is triangular, hence the name. Beautiful light pink flowers match well with the foliage. The only Oxalis I can grow as a house plant in good light as it does not etiolate. Very nice, everbody who sees it wants it. multiplies quickly and can also be grown in the open garden, leaf colour then becomes almost black, perhaps better in half shade?" Note from msi: Last year this one bloomed from June to November Tritonia disticha--Summer Rainfall Southern African, very robust tall with orange flowers blooming for me in fall (October this past year) Mary Sue
