It has taken several years for this to settle in and finally bloom. Needs very well drained soil.

You had said before that you were thinking of getting some bulbs of Ferraria. This last year I repotted mine in a soil mix that was very well drained, and got flowers! I love the side view.

Going to have to look this one up, how unusual.

I hope yours blooms faster than mind did, Gg. Only took 4 years.
Siris: Look for South African bulbs. This one is native to southern Namibia and into the North/West Cape regions. It also enjoys being warm and dry in the summer; and since it hasn't been that cold this year during the winter, it may also like staying above 10°C.

Not for me then, although it looks fabulous.

Rareplants.co.uk does offer one, but at £24.50, it is a bit pricey.

Thanks Wylie, Enjoyed looking at that site, it enabled me to put a species name to my Trillium, which I always thought was wrongly named.

I am waiting for some Tigridia bulbs to arrive from there.
