Title: [Solved: Geissorhiza inaequalis] ID help…
Post by: Too Many Plants! on March 08, 2024, 08:02:26 PM

I was Generously gifted some mystery bulbs from a long time aficionados garden. Many of them have been leafing out for a bit now, and the first flowers are appearing. Some I feel I can speculate on the genus based on the foliage, but far more I have no clue about.
Here are some flowers I do not recognize...
Appreciate any help!

Thank you, Robin! Impressive, I didn't even deduce it was the Geissorhiza genus. I eventually found out from the gifter of the bulbs, it is G. Inaequalis.

Yes correct - definitely inaequalis - looked properly now and can see the one shorter filament.
