Eucharis
aff. caucana plicata
Columbia, Quindio 1100m
identified a E plicata
Cup is about 13-14mm long and 13mm wide
Style is very short and well inside anthers.
-
Perhaps not, Rimmer. E. caucana does not have that extended pedicel behind the ovary, I don't think. Have a look at E. formosa on the PBS pages - yours looks more like that ?

Style is too short for E. formosa
And it does not match these pictures for E. caucana with the wide part behind flower and long style.
http://florawww.eeb.uconn.edu/200700117.html (http://florawww.eeb.uconn.edu/200700117.html)
So perhaps the aff. caucana designation or E. plicata.
-
Might it be a hybrid? It is lovely. but I believe they don't smell as good as they look??

Tecophilaea cyanocrocus var. leichtlinii Opened today in 80F (26C) heat
-
Bit warmer at this time of year than you've been used to in the past Rimmer.
-
Tecophilaea cyanocrocus incredible blue colour

It is downright tropical here
Another hot humid day (like June in Michigan) only 500 miles to the south
-
Tecophilaea cyanocrocus var. violacea.

6 tepal yellow nothoscordum, flower about 1” diameter
Came from Japan as Nothoscordum seto

Tecophilaea cyanocrocus var. violacea.
Rimmer, very nice Tecophilaea but I think that is perhaps a hybrid - I don't think the true violacea has such a large white eye. Equally Tecophilaea cyanocrocus var. leichtlinii is sky blue - yours looks more violet so that may be a hybrid also. Hopefully I'll post some pictures in a few weeks.

Leucocoryne purpurea

Pasithea caerulea first bloom from seed started in feb 2016. In a pot.

Leucocoryne coquimbensis- pale blue purple edges
Leucocoryne vittata -purple veins

Hi Rimmer,
ours is just coming out of its summer dormancy!
Oxalis lobata (syn O. perdicaria) has been flowering for over 2 months - here's a pic from February

Urceolina peruviana aka Stenomesson miniatum a few weeks ago.

Caliphruria korsakoffii blooms reliably from a small bulb.
The Caliphuria subedentata i have just makes offsets

We have very strong sun here in Kentucky compared to Michigan perhaps that has some impact on colouration.

Very nice plant Rimmer.

As the rain returns to Scotland - my tigridia vanhouteii has flowered!
-
Just re-potted a Tropaeolum azureum that I haven't done for a few years and was surprised at the size - I wasn't aware the tubers got this large. This one is 12 years old. Does anyone know if they get even larger with greater age?
Paul
-
That's about as large as the biggest we have, Paul. Magnificent, isn't it? Ours have not gone beyond around 20 years before fading, leaving small tubers behind. We get regular seed - not bigger tubers than that though.
-
Any advice on how to get azureum, hookerianum and others to break dormancy each year?
I often struggle to get my potted Tropaeolum to spring back into growth in the autumn but find that a few small tubers that have escaped into the sand plunge grow more reliably.
-
Give them a good watering on 1st September, Steve.

Many thanks Maggi.
A deluge has been booked for 1st September.
I’m now a firm believer in the miracles a monsoon can bring.
I placed some Rhodophiala pots out in the rain last week, the response was swift.

Great photos of the bud, too.

Nearly 6 months ago Rimmer posted pics of his "Nothoscordum felipponei, syn. Ipheion sellowianum, syn. Tristagma sellowianum" and ours are now in bloom

Big Yellow daffodil
Paramongaia weberbaueri - winter, coastal form.
This plant seems to bloom every other year for me. And if it makes offsets it does not bloom that fall-winter. Luckily an offsets is on the opposiite bloom rotation.
Wife says it has a honeysuckel- jasmine smell.
-
Big Yellow daffodil
Very lovely Rimmer! What is the fragrance like?
-
"Big yellow daffodil"- this lovely plant is
an Ismene, sometimes known as the "Peruvian daffodil"apologies, my mind was elsewhere! ...... actually another genus in the Amaryllidaceae family - Paramongaia weberbaueri - now beginners will be even more confused! :-\
-
I've maybe not well understood Maggie but this is not an Ismene but still an other "Peruvian Daffodil" and still another genus in the Amaryllidaceae family...
Nice flower Rimmer, I'm a bit jalous :) Does it set seeds ? (now that I have the big white peruvian Daffodil, thanks Hans, I'm looking for this one)
-
Big Yellow daffodil
Actually Paramongaia weberbaueri which was shown here; http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=15947.0 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=15947.0)
I suspect a lot of us have it on own 'most lusted after plants list'!

Quite right, sorry for my silly mistake! Correction made now!

Not a silly mistake at all - very easy to make, and actually the more I look at them the more I think I would like someone to take me through an 'idiot guide' to the differences between the genera...

Here’s the big white daffodil.

Grown from seed sown in 2013. This is its first flowering. This year I put it outside in late May and brought it back indoors in late September -unfortunately the foliage was damaged somewhat by an autumn storm (strong winds and hail) but growing it “hard” seems to have encouraged flowering.
The late evening perfume from the flowers is glorious. -
-
;D I will have the same, I will soon have the same (finger crossed) ;D :P
-
Phaedranassa dubia
First time flowering for me.
-
what do i do with this Clinanthus verigatus (apricot) that is 5-6 months early in my unheated garage.
It usually blooms in Late May for me. But missed blooming this past year, probably due to the early and proloned extreme heat from mid May to mid October.
It is supposed to be going dormant now.
Bloom 30 Dec 2018

Gethyum looking creepy and stinking badly
