Thank you Amblealice.
All three corms produced leaves, but just this one has made it to flower. I've done my best to keep the humidity up, but would probably have done better indoors this summer!

It is Homebird - I thought that the poor summer had done for them, but at least I've got some reward!

I did Homebird, so I'm kicking myself for not bringing them in sooner!

Did you have them in the ground then?

Beautiful Meanie. It is like a white bird with outstretched wings diving towards the ground.
