Have deleted image. Will try to post text / no image

Hi @Judy Glattstein - are you attaching the image or inserting it in the text (bad likely to give a text too long error) - you need to use the "click or drag files here to attach them" area at the bottom of the 'reply' box.

My bad. I shall try again, as suggested

Aha! That worked. Thank you David.

Asphodelus ayardii. I finally found a good stand only a 10 min drive and 10 min walk from home, and we got rain, so they will set good seed.

Also fistulosus and cerasiferus in the area, they don't seem to hybridize. The flowers of ayardii stay open a little longer than those of fistulosus, it was about 17:20 and all fistulosus were closed.

I have this unusual Sparaxis Tricolor orange flower plant that looks like the flowers were blushed with metallic silver.

Another couple different S. Tricolor colors have popped up. I really enjoy my Sparaxis!

Narcissus bulbocodium subsp quintanilhae, A lot was written on it by Dr. Abílio Fernandes, but I still don't understand what it is.

@Too Many Plants! The Sparaxis are all hybrids the first set are tricolor X pillansii with tricolor dominant. The second is the same hybrid but with pillansii dominant. The third is tricolor X elegans with tricolor dominant.

The Ferraria is most likely F. foliosa.

Wow! Cool. Thank you Robin. Stoked about my hybrid Sparaxis Tricolor bulbs. Most of them came from a long established garden in SoCal. Probably at least 15+ years of flowering in that garden before I got them.
