Hi Paul,

Thats great that you have added more images to the Tigridia page
already.

WOW. I didn't realise they would flower so quickly. Have you also
sown in
pots? How long do they take in comparison? Did they germinate, grow
and
flower all within the one growing season? When did you sow them and
when
did they flower.

Yes I have sown Tigridia pavonia in pots and they havent flowered
as rapidly as those I sowed in the ground. In fact the mature T
pavonia bulbs are not happy in pots. I intend to get all mine into
the ground this winter. The other species I grow chiapensis,
dugesii, durangense, multiflora and vanhoutei as well as the closely
related Rigidella orthantha all seem quite happy in pots.

Cheers,

Rob
