Thank you for the original description of Acis ionica.
I grow Acis ionica, nicaeense and roseum in my garden.
I collected Acis ionica as A. valentinum in Lefkas 14 years ago.

Do you have seeds of your plants ? Is it easy to obtain flowering bulbs from seedling ? Nevertheless, very fine photos !

Franz, super plants - fine pics!
Do you grow them unprotected in the garden?

Thanks,
Acis ionica grows unprotected in the meadow. Some year get me a seed, but I never sowed the seed.
Acis nicaeense grow in a protected bed and self seedlings appear sometimes.
Acis roseum is difficult bulb for me.

I don't find A. roseum difficult but it is so small it's hard to keep track of and I think would be quite lost in the garden. Mine is in a trough and has never set seed, several bulbs but all the same clone. The bulbs get very big for the size of the top growth. It is just starting into flower now (Mid March).

Hans,how do you get Acis trichophylla 'rosea' to flower?, I have a pot full of bulbs but no flowers. I followed the advice given and kept them pot bound and in a  warm spot in the greenhouse, but in 5 years no flowers.

Hans,

Interesting flowers on the nicaensis.  Nice and rounded, more filled in flowers than I am used to seeing on the Acis.  Nice!!

Paul ,

I'm also a bit surprised about this plants - the seeds comes from AGS -sown by me 2002 .
The plants are really big ....I have also from a other source some plants ( they grows free in one of my border ) until now is nothing to see of them ...

Acis rosea pictured in the greenhouse today. I got this bulb in 2007 and it has always flowered but doesn't seem to multiply?
