Alberto,

Thank you. I realized that after I posted it. I probably became over excited to get the last one done with all the Amaryllidaceae photos before them and just continued under the same category by lack of thought. I will have a look at moving them to the Hyacinthaceae family if there is a category after breakfast.

A lovely Massonia Angie, well done. Happily I have some seedlings from a donor to last summer's seed lists. They came up very quickly, just a fortnight after sowing.

The Gladiolus tristis shown here is very interesting to me as the form we have in NZ is all pale lime-green to cream, with slight brown striping on the backs of the petals but last night at a talk we were shown one very similar to yours Heinie, as liliaceus (if I heard correctly) even though tristis had been ordered. Does tristis vary much in S. Africa, with larger or smaller amounts of the brown colouring? The one we saw I first thought was maculatus, before we were told otherwise.
