Thanks David, getting confused with having to post the pics from the web site, not that it takes very much to confuse me at the best of times.

I have corrected it now.

cheers.

I was just about to say that I thought they were Tritonia.... but I see there was a mix-up. That's the limit of my Tritonia knowledge..... they are very good flowers, though.....  8)

Here is another former Homeria (now Moraea elegans). It also has that weird perfume! Not to mention a weird colour scheme.

Geissorhiza mathewsii has increased from 1 corm to 3 - this might mean it is rather longer lived than its bigger cousin G. radians.

There is also a picture of the two for comparison - radians is the lower one.

Geissorhiza monanthos is also at its best at the moment.
