Some bulbs flowering now for Rimmer de Vries in Michigan - the lily is from a couple of weeks ago.
-
Bessera elegans
-
Is this a quiz Maggi...?
-
No Tristan - it's just some pix Rimmer sent me when we were corresponding about the trouble he was having with the photo rotating hen he posted them.
Hope he may drop in to give you the names..... !

Some more from Rimmer....
Gentiana paradoxa
-
Zeph minuta
-
Lilium catesbaei
-
Calostemma purpurea. Forget everything you have read that this needs a dry summer. It gets copious amounts of water in sandy soil. The leaves die down in July and by mid August it is in bloom as soon as it rains.
-
Haemanthus humilis humilis "Giant Form"
-
Fabulous images Rimmer. What a good idea to grow L. catesbaei with pitcher plants - I only have small stuff with mine. Do you sow seed direct into the pots?
I must give Gentiana paradoxa another try. The flowers are stunning.
-
Lilium catesbaei seeds just dropped in bog garden. Along with this gentian
-
Calandrina spectabilis
-
Hypoxis juncea. Blooms after every rain or watering all spring and summer

What an eclectic collection Rimmer! I am very envious of your G. paradoxa, lost mine two years ago.
-
The G. Paradoxa were all seed grown.
-
Zeph puchella from PBS BX 402. With paler Z. Smallii to add de

I'm working on it ;) although I'm wondering what I'll end up with; I've seen plants going under the name of paradoxa that may be hybrids considering the foliage, which is not so fine as in the true G. paradoxa, like yours.
I also like it because it turns reddish later in the fall. It is a gentian that I would grow even if just for the foliage.

Zeph x "Summer snow"
-
Calostemma purpureum over three days. and a 4th photo taken less that 1 week after the first photo
-
Interesting to see your C.
purpurea purpureum Rimmer. Somewhere I had read that the bulbs like to be deep, but today when repotting some 3-year old seedlings I was surprised that the bulbs were only 12-15 cm down a 25 cm deep pot. Perhaps they behave differently in the open ground, or go deeper as they mature. How do yours behave?
Thanks for the name correction Fermi :)

Mine are in a atandard 1 gallon plastic pot maybe 8" tall. that gets plunged in late spring and pulled out in late fall. The many many seedlings are in a small pot next to it. i suspect they have not crawled out the bottom. Will find out in Oct

Calostemma purpureaum over three days

I love seeing our Aussie plants grown overseas! Especially the bulbs as we have so few,
cheers

Ah, good to know that 8"/20cm is enough for them.

I'll ask seeds of this one for sure from Seedex.
This maybe not the right place to ask, but because I know you also had seedlings - did your Allium cupuliferum went dormant? I don't want to start scratching in the pot...
-
Scilla lingulata from Tunisia, white and blue forms
-
Iris lutescens bloomimg now.
It blooms on and off all summer, typically a fews days after a good rain.
-
Few last blooms on Lilium rosthornii. Similar to Lilium henryi but shorter, has narrower foliage and very narrow seed capsules.

Tigrinda pavonia "Sunset in Oz"
-
Bessera elegans "coral drops" , another Mexican geophyte has been bloom the entire month of August and now seed grown plants are sending up flower stems.

Panacratum parvaflora aka Vagaria parviflora bloming now with no leaves.
This looks like an albuca or thog. Maybe it is the missing link.
