Acidanthera

That is lovely Barbara!

mine never sprouted :o(
thanks for sharing yours :o)

You're weeks ahead of mine!

Gorgeous! :o)

I could never get them to flower before - apart from an odd one. I had a 'tip' from a Nurseryman - once the green shoots appear in the pots, they need a LOT of watering, so I did, and most if not all the bulbs have flowers/buds.

I love them, so I'm pleased that you do too! :-)))

They have a lovely scent too.

Yes!.....:-)))

love these, had some in the border, but they don't come back, I forgot to get any this year :-(

That's a shame - I shall leave these in their pots and try to get them to over-winter.

Can you tell me when they should start to show? I planted mine weeks ago kept the pots just slightly watered in the greenhouse, then I put them outside as soon as the weather warmed up a bit maybe three or four weeks ago! I planted dahlia corms the same time they are sprouting well but no sign of the acidanthera yet.

Yes, I have some in pots, and the first shoot appeared this week. :-)

Do you need to keep them well watered Sh; ? it has been very dry and Ive only watered infrequently! the pots are outside now is that alright?

Yes, fine - unless you get frost in your area? Give them lots of water - see above. Don't wait until the compost is dry.
