Resnova from leaf cuttings. Clay pot of 2018 cuttings (4years) a d plastic pot of 2019 cuttings of a dark leafed form (3 years)

No Arnold, i said it was not English Blue Bells or H non-scripta. But more likely the weedy Spanish Blue bells 

Here is H non-scripta 'WaveTree' blooming last week. It is smaller.  

Ledebouria agavoides A few days later

This one needs the free drainage, most are in a sandy pumice mix, with little to no organics (sifted peat)

It is well past time to bring the Ledebourias out from under lights into the sun.  

Here is Ledebouria agavoides from Lebona in NE South Africa in a 9" tall clay pot of pure pumice 

Pelargonium rapaceum from SRGC BX in 2019
In a pot of mostly pumice and some local red clay

Invasive bulbs in my gardens in Kentucky include:
Crocus tommasinianus
Allium sphaerocephalon,
Allium amethystinum and several other weedy alliums
Oxalis obtusa ( 1 from the BX is now 1000s of plants in the semi protected sand beds)
Notholirion thompsonianum came from BX as something else and shows up everywhere.
Gladiolus tristis

In protected areas and Under lights in garage
Gladiolus with very long and very narrow 2-3mm leaves that never bloom (G trichonemifolius?)
Melasphaerula graminea Just arrived as an imposter and it reported to be a greenhouse weed. 


Most older lawns in the Mid South are made up of
Ornithogalum umbellatum (Star of Bethlehem).
Muscari armeniacum
Wild onion
No matter how much you dig up the clumps you always miss some

Resnova pilosa

Dylan Hannon as a small bulb in 2015. Does not need much water. 

Pelargonium longifolium from SRGC 2018 seed ex.

2-3/4" wide x 4" deep, the little one in second photo

Ornithogalum ceresianum. In a small clay pot not much bigger than the bulb 

Pelargonium punctatum - Cederburg

Pelargonium ochrolecum grown under lights so rather tall. 

Scilla persica in ground (past peak flowering)
Next to a pot of Merwilla plumbea with the wide fuzzy leaves.
