Dear All, In my Northern California coastal garden I planted Homeria in the ground. I had various species (collina, flacccida, ochroleuca, pendula). I had grown some of these when I lived in Stockton in raised beds with deciduous perennials. The Homerias did their thing and then the perennials came up and I pulled the dying stems of the Homerias off. They survived in raised beds with regular summer water. Every year they bloomed in greater numbers, but did not appear where they were not planted. Here on the coast it is another matter. Before I realized they had set seed and seeded themselves about and I now have very interesting hybrids that bloom for a long time in spring appearing all over my garden. Each flower is open about two days in this cooler climate and many flowers are produced. Some are pure yellow or pure apricot and some yellow with an orange cup or orange with a yellow cup. There are some interesting variations. After I became concerned that I might be starting a new weed invasion I have tried to deadhead. So far they have not appeared beyond my 1/2 acre garden. Jim Duggan told the IBS forum last year that Homeria is now considered a weed and he cannot send bulbs out of the state of California. I find this a bit humorous since if they are going to be weeds California is probably where that will happen as they wouldn't be hardy everywhere. This is a long winded way of saying that this year I collected seed. It would be considered Moraea hybrids (Homeria type.) I probably shouldn't send it to Dell. Is there anyone in California who wants it and is willing to watch it so it won't get carried away? I think inland it wouldn't be such a problem, at least it wasn't for me. If you want some, send me privately your name and address and I will mail some seed to you. Mary Sue
