This year everything is very early. Another example is the genus Moraea. Moraea ochroleuca is flowering in its beauty.

Moraea vegeta is second flowering Moraea. It is a small species with tiny but nevertheless beautiful flowers.

Beautiful pics, Ophrys! Moraea ochroleuca flowered in my greenhouse for the first time this year. It came as a lost label plant from a friend to me. I like the lovely scent, too.

Vielen Dank, Mariette!
I'm happy that there are other people working with Moareas. The genus Moraea is not the easiest north of the Alps. I see you have the same phenomenon that the Moraea ochroleuca is growing distorted.
Very nice Auriculas in the front!

The genus Moraea works not bad this year. Moraea sisyrinchium is the third in the row. Moraea sisyrinchium in the sun and in a softer light in the evening.

The flowers of Moraea simulans are tiny but very delicate and beautiful. They easily produce seeds that I will try to grow progeny of it.

Hi David,
officially spring on Tuesday but we always have a burst of bloom at this time of year - some people call this period "Sprinter" being a combination of winter and spring

Moraea aristata looking stunning
It is stunning! I wonder if it is hardy enough to grow here? Maybe not.

Hi Leena,
here they have survived in the ground a drop to -7oC which other South African bulbs in pots did not.
Here is Moraea setifolia which can seed about a bit - I try to collect as much of the seed as I can

Hi Leena,

Here it may be -20C without snow in bad winters (though last winter the minimum was less), so I will just have to admire your pictures. :) They look very nice.

Thanks, Leena,
I feel the same about things like Meconopsis I see here but not in my garden :)
The latest to flower is Moraea atropunctata which we got earlier in the year from Ray Mills (Ray's Unusual Plants) in Guildford.

Not likely, Maggi!
Here's another spotty one Moraea 'Karen Howard' (M. loubseri x M.atropunctata) which we got earlier in the year from Garry Reid

A mystery moraea which has flowered in the old "South African Sand Bed". I wonder if it could be Moraea pritzeliana?

Moraea lurida can be really variable in the wild but the forms in cultivation are less so.
These are two variations in our seed raised bunch - one is yellow and the other cream ::)
