The Les Hannibal Amaryllis hybrids here are at about the mid-point in their blooming process now. Some of the bulbs have already finished; others are still in bud. Amaryllis seem to start a bit later for me than they do in most of the Bay Area. I'm not sure why; my neighborhood is a bit warmer and dryer than the rest of the area, and you'd think that would lead to earlier blooms not later ones. Haemanthus amarylloides, my nominee for the world's most boring Amaryllid, bloomed in early August and is long since done. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… rylloides Haemanthus barkerae, the second most-boring Amaryllid, just finished blooming. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… kerae I've tried to cross both of these with A. belladonna, with no success. It's just as well; I can't imagine the flowers would be interesting. The other things blooming now are three Michael Vassar Oxalis: MV5630A, MV4674, and MV5117. All have small lavender-pink flowers over tiny tufts of foliage, and start blooming in late August to early September, a few weeks after I start watering them. As you can see, the flowers look very similar: You can see 4674 and 5630A here: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… V4674 And 5117 here: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… mmutata Because they bloom at almost the same time and the flowers are similar, it's possible that I might be growing one species that accidently spread to the other pots. But Michael Vassar's collection notes describe them all as small lavender or pink flowers, so they may just be similar plants. They are not at all spectacular, but they're cheerful little things, and very welcome at this time of year. Those are the only things in bloom at the moment, but I'm very happy to say that my Brunsvigia marginata has a little bud just starting to poke up above the soil. This will be its second year to bloom. Mike San Jose, CA
