My Moraea Polyanthos appears to be showing some good staying power!

Quote from: Randy Linke on May 02, 2024, 02:31:15 AMTwo forms of Calochortus subperbus blooming on May Day in a pot on my terraza. I am not sure if they were from the same seed lot as I combined some when I moved to Spain to conserve space. I like the contrast and will probably leave them together when I do my fall repotting.

FANTASTIC seeing them in habitat like that! Thanks for sharing, Carlos!!
Quote from: Uli on April 20, 2024, 12:49:20 AMLauw de Jager is the owner of the now defunct nursery Bulb'Argence in southern France. He sold a wide range of often unusual bulbs suitable for the Mediterranean Climate. He also wrote a nicely illustrated booklet on Mediterranean Bulbs but in French.
I also got the orange form of Moraea ochroleuca from him but it tends to disappear in my garden. It is planted in the open ground and I suspect mice........ there is just one single specimen flowering at this moment.
The yellow ones have also declined but seem to be less palatable to the critters.

Just found out from the gifter of the bulbs that these are hybrids of the Homeria complex, with multiple generations of growing together open pollination hybridizing.Looks completely like what I got from Lauw as M. ochroleuca aurantica - which could of course also be a hybrid. it does set seeds like mad, though.
Looks a bit different than my yellow flowered version.
