Hi, The first time my husband and I visited South Africa (in a wet year) we saw a flash of white on the side of the mountain as we were driving in the Cederberg from Clanwilliam to the Biedouw Valley. We stopped the car at the first good place and hiked up to look at these beautiful white flowers. We weren't sure exactly what they were and our guess wasn't correct. Rachel and Rod Saunders told us they were probably Geissorhiza leopoldtii. In the Geissorhiza monograph it says that this population only blooms in a wet year as that area can be very dry. I wanted to grow it so when Silverhill Seeds listed it I bought some seeds. Sown in October 2002 they are at last blooming. They have been in bloom for almost 3 weeks and I am enchanted. They remind me of white Hesperanthas, but they are open in the day time. I brought them in one night to admire along with Hesperantha cucullata that only opens late afternoon and the fragrance was overpowering so I had to move one of them out. One of my pictures shows the flower next to a yellow Hesperantha vaginata that Lauw gave me after I had written my dismay over losing it. This yellow form that was once considered a variety is a much more reliable bloomer for me than the yellow and brown one which often looks like it is going to open, but doesn't because it isn't warm or sunny enough for it actually to happen. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Speaking of Geissorhiza, Geissorhiza inaequalis, is behaving a bit like Freesia alba and Oxalis obtusa. It is appearing in many of my pots and also in the garden. This time of the year walking in my garden is wonderful because I have Freesia alba so many places that the fragrance just surrounds you. Weeds I guess, but nice ones. Oxalis obtusa isn't weedy in the garden, but just appears in a lot of my pots. I think about yanking it out when I first see it, but think someone might want it so I let it grow for the BX. Mary Sue
