Lachenalia pygmaea

I'm sure the neonicotinoids were used to control aphid populations which transmit the virus.

Two miniature Lachenalia.  Not sure of the ID, labels long gone along with taxonomic reshuffle


Any ideas as to name would be appreciated.

Was Polyxena

Freesia  caryophyllacea

I LOVE my Velthemia! I have a few types. None of mine are active yet.

The Velthemia is always up very early for me.  I keep the winter growers in a cool basement completely dry during their dormancy.  This could be a trigger for early flowering.

Looks like a Crinum

I must have divided the original plant five or six times already.  The plant is relatively post bound now. One member suggested planting outside for a season and see where it goes.  I may try a small plant and see how it does.

It rest during our winter on a shelf in the cool greenhouse while the SA bulbs are growing.  Minimal water given.  During the summers it lives outdoors in a shallow pan of water.

Offsets like crazy.

i've had this Crinum menehune for at least five years from a BX distribution.  It hasn't flowered and just keeps dividing and dividing.

Any cultural tips for getting it to flower out there?

Great stuff, Ken.

Clinanthus incarnatus

I had Agapanthus 'Elaine' years ago from Plant Delights Nursery.

Not sure if they still have it.
