Hello Fermi, nice to see an Australian collection as we continue with what is a chilly spring here. We had a few very warm days, in the mid to high twenties, but then reality set in with another snowfall in the hills and since, the days have rarely climbed above 12 or 13 in the south here at least.
I'm very interested to see the white climbing Dichelostemma. I had the blue form for a while a few years ago then lost it but hope to try it again some time. If you have seed of this pretty white you may like to send some for next year's seed list. Quite a lot of seed starting here, mainly of bulbs such as Narcissus species. It's a never-ending task harvesting, cleaning, packeting and remembering to send off in time for the deadlines. My dream has always been to have a small room designated ONLY for seeds so that I can keep them off the dining table, the kitchen bench and in little piles anywhere there's spare room. One day.....

Moraea lurida yellow
little jewel from which region?

Fermi, you have a very impressive, nice and large collection!

Scotland! :D Well, from the SRGC Seedex a few years ago. I think it originates in the Cape.

I'll keep an eye out for seed. I hope it doesn't flower itself to death as some rarities tend to.
I agree about needing a room just for seed! Same thing happens here ::)

Avarice and old age have a lot to answer for! ;D
Here are a few more:
Ornithogalum dubium
Geissorhiza inflexa
Ixia 'Teal' or 'Amethystina'
Allium maybe obliquum (grown from seed as A. carolinianum!)
Allium daninianum
cheers

Yes, it is Allium obliquum, Fermi. Selfseeds here if not cut after flowering but is nice, isn’t it? I enjoy all your pictures . Thank you for showing.

Along the roadside at Langley (between Redesdale and Kyneton) there is a great flowering of some of the local native wildflowers. The haze of purple is the Chocolate Lily, Arthropodium strictum.

Enjoying the suberb drainage on the embankment is the matted bush-pea, Pultenaea pedunculata,

Hi Gail,
apparently so, though I couldn't smell anything much at the time!
There was also this daisy which used to be a helichrysum but is now Coronidium scorpioides!
cheers
fermi

There was also a dianella growing with the arthropodium blending nicely
cheers
fermi

And there were still a few "Milkmaids", Burchardia umbellata, though they usually are earlier flowering,

Stopping on the way home from Bendigo earlier in the week we found some stunning wildflowers:
Firstly Cheiranthera linearis, Finger Flower, named for the appearance of the stamens

The native Bluebells were also amazing - I think these are Wahlenbergia stricta
cheers

Xerochrysum viscosum, the Sticky Everlasting, was profuse this year though you can see why it's sometimes hard to find seed!
