Dear Mark, Why not just grow Babiana from seed, that way you end up with a plant the is acclimatised to your conditions. They should flower in their 3rd season. Seed is available from http://www.silverhillseeds.co.za/ at a reasonable price. Most of my plants are from seed obtained from them Cheers Digby Boswell Pietermaritzburg South Africa.
