I'm delighted it's flowering for you Hans. How did you get it to flower so soon? It obviously recognizes the touch of a true botanical curator!   ;D 8)

Really interesting to see the beginning and the end of this lovely plant - Cris your seedlings look so healthy and happy and Hans your flower is quite stunning (photo included) thanks.

That's a lovely Zephyranthes Hans. This one from me is not so lovely but I'd be interested if anyone can confirm the name it was sold with: Zephyranthes smallii?  I've had it for a few years after buying one bulb and have sinced raised some (selfed) seed too. It is one of those plants which might be on the hit list if I need the space....

Crikey, that's a bit harsh, Darren! I think it's lovely.

You know, I don't even know why I'm not keen on it? Something about the way the flower is in the same plane as the stem , which doesn't curve. Nor does it have a graceful air to it, unlike, say, Maggi.
