Title: South African bulb
Post by: Diane Whitehead on April 18, 2016, 07:32:43 PM

A mystery flower in the bed where I dump pots that have lost their labels.

Hi Diane,

Probably Casmanthe bicolor.

Best wishes,

Wim

Goodness, Maggi, you do keep track.  I thought this was the first time it flowered.

Thank you both!

Diane

I see now that it flowered June 1 in 2012, but mid-April this year.
