Nice Tigridia pavonia, how long do I have to wait before I get a lovely flower like that. Should I prick mine out now and put into individual pots.
Here are my babies, guess where my seed came from  ;D.

Angie, I'm no expert but on the basis that if you sowed them this year(?) I would be inclined to leave them in the seed pot for at least another year if not two (no harm in giving them an odd feed with half strength tomato fertiliser when in growth). After a couple of years, and whilst they are dormant, they should be big enough to tip out (may have to search through your compost a bit) and re-pot. Four years should give you a flower.

Angie, it is unwise to prick bulbs in the seedling stage as the damage to the tiny roots is a disaster to them. Look at this stage for aphid and red spider mite attack.

Since they seem to be growing well with you, if they fill the pot with roots (and they appear out of the drainage holes) pot the whole rootball on to a larger pot without breaking it.

There are several variants of robustus around with fancy names, but of course they could only be true from offsets.

Thanks for the advice for my Tigridia Pavonia seedlings. Will leave well alone.

David four years isn't to bad to wait for a wonderful flower like that. Will post a picture in 2015  ;D

It seems the cross of Rhodophiala araucana x advena did not take.  Ploidy mis-match?  The advena selfed has, though not robustly.  I will have to try the reverse, avena x araucana on the last flower of the former.

John:

So I guess it's   Habranthus robustus 'Cherry Pink'?

Sent up a second spike three days later.

Arnold,

If it is seed grown then it is seed EX 'Cherry Pink' and shouldn't be labelled as the original.  Too many things are mixed up under incorrect names already as people sown seed of it and then put the same name on the seedlings, which aren't the same thing at all. ::)  I find it all the time where you buy something as a particular thing and find out it is seedlings of and may end up not even looking like the parent that it is supposed to be. :o  Beautiful flower, whatever it's name.  ;D ;)
