It is pretty, and looks nice where I have it; but it is going to take a lot of thinking on how to use it for a new seedling.

Yes, I like my flowers to work at making new ones. My style of gardening is Hybridization.

No, if you look through the photos you will find that I also do Winter-growing South African Bulbs. I do them in containers so they can be moved to a dry area for the summer. Also I have started seeds and am growing seedlings of the summer growing S.A. bulbs. Any day I should have the first Tigridia vanhouttei flower. The plan is to start hybridizing Moraeas. I also have seeds ripening for(xHippeastrelia x Sprekelia). And I have small bulbs growing of white Amaryllis (the species).

Yes I ve since looked at your link flowers you do some beauties I noticed your African Agapanthus was nt sure where the others originated from I have one Agapanthus in the ground its white an evergreen leaf from the Eden Project here years ago I bought that and two blue s in pots.
You learn some thing new ever day I did nt realise that Tigridia was from Africa I have had these in the past I posted them on a blog not so long ago but then deleted the blog as some one said about showing flowers that was nt yet in flower yet . I had a red one and yellow one. , so now have planted more fingers crossed they will come up this year.

I have found that Tigridias are very easy from seed. Just a little warmth and 30 days will get a lot of new ones. Tigridias are actually from Mexico and Guatamala. It is one of the few bulbs I have native to the Americas.

I checked the Tigridias to day the leaves are up☺ ahrr so they are from Mexico and Guatamala thank you for that I had nt a clue .
