Ixia Curta! Beautiful and very bright orange. I think I’m in love- it’s almost competition for ixia viridiflora.

Albuca sp. 1 from Steve Hammer 2009 list

Probably a different later blooming clone of Albuca spiralis with lesser amount of glandular hairs.

About 10-12” tall, taller than the earlier blooming plants previously shown.

Last snap is glandiular hairs from the A spiralis plants

One of the giant Moraeas I’ve got that takes up too much space. Moraea marlothii - it’s about three feet tall. It reminds me of a Lilly somehow
