My heart is thumping - what a gorgeous oxalis with exquisite marking in my favourite colour and the leaf looks intriguing but I would like to see more if possible :)

A lovely delicate form Janis. Here is my Gwen McBride just flowering in a trough

Now all runs to bloom. Few more selections of Oxalis laciniata.

Janis,
All very nice. I've never seen laciniata available here. As well as the flowers, I just love the leaves. Beautiful!!
While you guys have those flowering in the north, here I have massoniana, perdicaria, hirta and purpurea varieties (plus a coupel of others) flowering at the moment.

I just love the markings of these exquisite miniatures and the way they 'sit' on the beautiful leaves - how big a cushion will it ultimately become Janis?

It is second year of vegetation. In pot was planted one rhizome. Originally they were collected in Chile by Kirsten A. from Denmark. She sent a lot to me and I made few selections.

I've posted pics of some autumn flowering ones to the "South African Bulbs" thread.

Now a pair of adenophylla still not started blooming but those are attractive in leaves, too. Purple Heart has purple centre of leaves, another purple edge of leaflets. Picture of Purple Heart in flowers is from last summer.

Oh these are utterly beautiful, I especially like #50-11.

Wow Janis, amazing. That 'Purple Heart' is very special, but the two purple laciniatas!! :o :o :o :o Beautiful. 8)

Wonderful Oxalis Janis !!! :o
My Purple Heart came up nicely after our Winter finished but I found it all withered and yellow a week or so later ... :'( :'(

As you say, Janis, the leaves are a very special feature of this lovely oxalis - purple heart had a different meaning in the 60's ;)

It can be frost damage, but doubtfull - with me alive even after very hard winters growing outside. Other could be Fusarium or some quite special (I not remember which) fungal disease. For that I lost many Fritillaria one spring. Hadn't problems on Oxalis but saw in Holland on traditiional O. adenophylla.

As far as I remember, purple hearts had about the same effect as a half-pint of lemonade shandy.

Luc, if yours Purple Heart is from me - I will send you replacement, although my plants looks very healthy and there are no signs of any problem.

Thanks for your friendly offer Janis, but the Purple Heart was a generous gift when we visited Gothenburg Botanics last year, which makes it even more sad that it got lost...
A second plant was given to my friend Luc Scheldeman (you will know him - he always orders for both of us) and this one does ok !
Just bad luck I guess and no obvious reason as the leaves did emerge nicely at first and I don't think we had any important night frosts at that time.

Luc,
Is there anything left by way of bulb below ground?

I defer to your expertise David. I was an innocent in these matters.
