Dear All,

Some more pictures from my garden. Now is a very nice time of the year, new flowers almost every day, some for the first time after sowing.

The first picture shows Lachenalia vanzyliae. It is nice but L. viridiflora is by far the greener flower and flowering as one of the first Lachenalia. L. vanzyliae is late blooming.

The second picture is Sparaxis tricolor from Silverhill seed. It is different from the form growing in gardens locally, I prefer the Silverhill form, it is brighter and the zones of the different colors are better separated  than with the garden form.

The third picture shows picked flowers of the Silverhill form on the left and the garden form on the right.

The next photo is Moraea tulbaghensis, flowering for the very first time from Silverhill seed. I am very fond of it.

Then a picture of Babiana villosa. The colour is amazing in full sun. Flowering for the second season from Silverhill seed.

The last picture shows a Freesia Hybrid. I am selecting for good clear colors, good scent and upright growth even in rainy weather.  It is annoying that purchased corms never come true to the pictures on the packet. But I got some from a reliable source, they are still in bud. I am also raising seedlings from selected colors.
