I have had limited success growing Herbertia lahue. The one that does grow
well for me looks like the photo in the wiki here
https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…

Now I am wondering if maybe some of the seeds and baby bulbs I received by
this name might be the subspecies from Texas. That one may have different
growing conditions. The South American one grows on a winter wet / summer
dry cycle, which is how I have been treating mine.

Looking at this list's archive I found many posts but some seemingly
conflicting information, such as whether it prefers acid or alkaline soil.
Now I wonder if sometimes the Texas subspecies was the topic and sometimes
the Chile and Argentina type species was the topic.

Can someone clarify please?
