This morning I found Neomarica northiana open.

The foliage is not hairy and some of the flowering shoots are branching. No detectable fragrance. Any idea of the ID?
Quote from: Too Many Plants! on April 07, 2024, 09:24:55 AMHere's a better pic of my Moraea I previously posted. I believe this is one of the genera that was lumped into Moraea, and to me it doesn't look Moraea. An interesting story to go with...I had a patch of this yellow and peach planted together and had a gopher come through the patch during dormancy. When the next season came around only yellow was left, and it looked like he had not eaten any of the yellow, certainly very little if he did at all. So...my conclusion is the peach must taste good, and yellow must taste bad. 😂It looks like Moraea ochroleuca (or Homeria ochroleuca). Mine is in bloom right now.
Quote from: Diane Whitehead on March 02, 2024, 09:58:50 AMWylie,Normally, that would be a good idea, but my Paramongaia w. blooms in October, earlier than a lot of the others people have. The foliage is starting to die back and I can see how many there are, but I think I have 3 offsets. Donating just 1 bulb to the regular exchange wouldn't be fair to anyone.
You could just exchange pollen - a lot easier than exchanging a bulb.
Quote from: Martin Bohnet on November 09, 2023, 07:54:49 PMabsolutely possible - I've never had seeds on the wide crosses like xAmarine and xAmacrinum. To be fair I don't have any other related amaryllids in flower when the Amacrinum is.I have some bulbs growing that were a result of crossing xAmarine with Amaryllis belladonna. If it would stop raining, I want to try a xAmarine with Nerine sarniensis since both are in flower.
