Never grown but as it is a bulb will take years to grow from seed to flowering size...

I left seed on the surface of the pots that the tiridia were growing in outside. 4 yrstill they flowered. the parents were red babies a creamy colour.

That's what I thought MG - still it might be worth a try.
SBG did you mean still haven't flowered?

I think SBG is saying it took 4 years from seed to bulbs flowering

So she is - I read still instead of till,. four years is worth a go think. thanks.

Yes definitely worth a go...

oops sorry yes 4 years until it flowered.

;))

I was going through some things and found the seed pack I got from T & M in 2001. It says 20 - 25 days @ 65 - 70F. Replant in fresh soil for a couple of years, then into the ground. Store dry, cool, frost free. Mine took 3 years, but then it's warmer here, so 4 years would be right for the UK.

If you're still out there, perhaps you'd like to know they finally germinated, after being kept very warm for several weeks. I 'd just given them up and was going to throw them out, and there they all were! They must have know time was almost up. (I know I should have given them much longer really but had no confidence they would be fertile) So now its several long years wait for some flowers.

Great news Steragram

Thanks MG!
