These came up in my yard (southern California) this week, They are green with yellow center and super tiny. The foliage is also very skinny. Ann MArie
sorry for the pics I'll list some more
sorry for the bad photos this is my last try. two close ups of the flower and one of the plant with leaf and another stem of buds to the right
Take a look at Wurmbea and Colchicum (Androcymbium) pictures here on PBS or on one of the large SA seed websites - Lifestyle, Seeds and All, or Silverhill. Their flowers vary enormously species, to species.
That said, the leaves look pure Iridaceae. Gladiolus?
That's
Freesia viridis subspecies viridis, one of the anomatheca-part of the genus
Thank you for this info. I'm not sure where I got these, did this site have them in a Box?
Well, its cousin
Freesia laxa tends to seed around aggressively in pots, chances are viridis does the same under good conditions.
