>9. Geissorhiza "falcata" (???) Since the identity of this was suspect, whoever asked for it could check out Hesperantha falcata or Hesperantha cucullata if and when it blooms. Some of the white Geissorhizas and Hesperanthas look very much alike. From the wiki: "Geissorhiza is quite similar to Hesperantha and superficially very difficult to tell apart although Geissorhiza blooms during the day and many Hesperantha species open late in the day. Most species of Geissorhiza have a style that divides above the anthers and in Hesperantha the style divides at the mouth of the tube." In the past I ordered seed from seed exchanges of quite a few things that were labeled with a variety of names that all turned out to be Hesperantha cucullata even though none of them were labeled that way (Hesperantha falcata from 4 different sources, Hesperantha pauciflora, Hesperantha buchnii which I think was a misspelling of H. buhrii which is a synonym for Hesperantha cucullata.) They weren't all completely the same as some opened earlier in the day and others were darker red/brown on the back. I don't think I ever grew Hesperantha falcata which is a smaller plant than H. cucullata. The only one I still have is the one from Wayne Roderick (misspelled H. buchnii). It opens earlier in the day and resembles the ones we saw in Nieuwoudtville. It has been blooming lately planted in the ground. If you look at the photos on the wiki of both H. falcata and H. cucullata you will understand why they can be misnamed and are difficult to tell apart. They have different corms however. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue
