Hermodactylus tuberosus

Lots of leaves on mine again this year, but no sign of any flowers :-(

What a fantastic flower, wishlist material ?
Do you find them easy to grow?

I find them very easy to grow, also easy from seed, I must stop taking seed as its so easy!

Gorgeous......looks like a little bird.

No, Resi, they didn't want to do anything from corms/tubers, but a friend gave me a clump from her garden and off they went! Now they're doing really well. :-)

just lots of leaves on mine too. do they like lots of sun?

As much sun as they can get Sbg.

The first flowers are just coming up on mine. They take a while to establish.

They like it hot whilst they are dormant in the summer.

Ah that's why they rarely flower then. Finding a hot spot will be a problem.

Pretty little plant.

Ah Dd, the strap-like leaves are not little, must be 18" !

I liked this enough to look it up, and it turns out this was once Iris tuberosa. After some study by Jodrell labs at Kew, it has been put back in the Iris group and the Hermodactylus grouping dropped.

It was like that at work - three re-organisations and then everybody was back where they started!

I really don't mind what they're called - I just like them! :-)
