This plant has been discussed many times on this list. Most people have been unable to get it to flower from year to year and it sounds like the source of Uli's seed mentioned this. I've grown other South African Irids that take a few years from seed to flower and then I might see them only again one or two times. I've grown it and lost it numerous times. Interestingly if you look through some of the recommendations from the archives, you'll get both dry in summer and moisture in summer. So some of you who have flowering this year might want to split up your corms and try it both ways. On the other hand some reported it didn't like to be disturbed so maybe not. Some grew it in pure sand. In the ground led to losses by most, but success by a few including one from summer rainfall higher elevation South Africa. On the other hand there is an interesting post from Colin Davis: https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbslist/… who says it needs a hot dormancy and didn't think extra moisture helped. Reading the archive suggestions is interesting, but afterwards you are still left trying to figure out what might work where you live.
