thanks Paul, that's the basic treatment I've been giving them.

maybe the seedlings will put on weight with age - I certainly have.

The first Rhodophiala of the year, a cheery little thing.  The label says araucana/elwesii but I think it was crossed with advena. Thoughts?

I'm really delighted by these wonderful Irids  8)  And they match the picture on E-bay where I purchased the seeds last year in January (I immediately had a crush for these when I saw them).  Sown in spring 2014 they did not really grow a lot untill fall when they suddenly started to grow new bigger leaves.  I thought this was because the seeds originated from Australia and the plants still were in some way on a Southern hemisphere seasonal pattern  8)  Anyway, they spend the winter in the green on a windowsill and were moved outside this spring.  I just hope that this winter they will go for a rest because that windowsill is no longer available to them.

I'm thinking the same thing - a really striking blue. And not long for them to flower from seed.

One of my favourite South Americans, Herbertia pulchella - aren't they all our favourites when in bloom?  :D

Phaedranassa dubia ex Ecuador: Imbabura, R. Ornduff 9674

i was a bit dubious it was dubia at first but as the flowers grew the red came in.

Rimmer      - Did you have any trouble sprouting the original seed?  I ask as I got seed last year from the AGCBC and nothing sprouted.  Was hoping it would appear again there or on the SRGC seedex but none.

Smashing!

Hi John.
This one came from Dylan Hannon as a small bulb in August 2014.

But I have germinated quite a few phaedranassa in a germ box on blotter paper. Either they germinate very quickly or they rot. Now I am doing these in water with a baggie on top of a small cup and refresh the water weekly until they have roots, then plant out. 

Last spring I bloomed a Phaedranassa that came as P. tunguraguae but was later identified as P. aff glaucifolia in less than 2 yrs From seed.

The current AGS seed ex has P. dubia listed.
