Post by: fermi de Sousa on July 31, 2020, 05:23:07 PM: Gagea fibrosa is the first gagea I ever grew.
When dividing it up in late summer I wasn't sure if there was any life in the dried remnants but all the pieces are in growth and some are in flower and attracting the pollinators!
cheers

G. caroli-kochii is beautiful too Yann, and new to me.

No promises, Ashley, but if the pollinators have done their work I might have some seeds later.
Two weeks later there are still blooms,

Thanks, Yann.
