Grown from BX 363 seed (June 2014) as Hippeastrum stylosum. But looks more like a xHippeastrelia.

Rimmer,  I'm pretty sure that Hippe is not stylosum.  You're right about how it looks.

Cyanella hyacinthoides grown from BX 352 seed started in November 2013.

Rimmer, is this the first time it has flowered?  9 years from seed?

I have a pot of seedings from last year so i know it has bloomed before 9 yrs 

Tulbaghia acutiloba, Devon, Gauteng Province. Grown from SX1-466 seed, started 27 April 2016

This came as Biarum aff. dispar.

Our Wiki states all Biarum's flower in October.

What gives?

I dunno, but B. carduchorum is in spike in San Francisco right now, as the leaves are collapsing around it.

I wonder if the comment on the wiki about bloom time is regarding plants in their natural habitat where flowering and growth is triggered by a change in temperature and rainfall. The wiki does show photos with seasons and they're not all in fall. I'd like to improve the wiki text.

David:

I found a paper indicting that not all of the Biarum's flower in the fall. 

"Taxonomic Revision of Biarum - [Aroideana 29, 2_36] - Boyce 2006.pdf"

Arnold. Thanks. That is probably enough to fine tune the wording on the wiki.
