Watsonia meriana ssp. bulbillifera
Alberto Castillo (Mon, 04 Aug 2003 17:00:24 PDT)

Dear all:
This cormlet production along the stalk is genetic and
characteristic of the salmon form of Watsonia meriana (hence the name
bulbillifera, not "bulbifera"). The other color forms of Watsonia meriana
(not invasive). are well behaved and flower for a longer season. This plant
is not only a potential menace in Mediterranean type climates. In E. Uruguay
and some mild spots of Argentina it can cover considerable extensions and is
not controlled by our year round rains as other South African bulbous
plants. And, Mary Sue, the solution would be to spray the plants with
glyphosate whem they are in full growth at flowering time.
Regards
Alberto
