Last summer I received a bulb under the name Dipcadi serotinum. When it started to grow, it became apparent that it was an irid. It did not bloom last year, nor did it seem to be growing very enthusiastically. It came back in strength this autumn, and in a post to this list awhile back I reported that it had flower buds and that I was leaning towards Freesia laxa as an identity. I opened the cold frame this morning and saw something which at first confused me: the buds seemed to have developed into green calyces. That didn't make sense, so I looked closer and was still a bit confused: what was I looking at? Finally it dawned on me: I was looking at a flower, a green flower no bigger in diameter than a dime. What was it? Here the wiki came to the rescue: it's Freesia viridis! I have not noticed fragrance - should it be fragrant? I'm very happy to have this. If the person who sent this to me in error would like a piece back, let me know.
