Mary Sue mentioned Romulea bulbocodium ssp. clusiana, which she got from me as R. clusiana. I probably got it as seed from Monocot Nursery, whose proprietor takes a "splitting" view of several genera he offers. There is another fine form of R. bulbocodium called 'Knightshayes Form' -- large dark violet flowers -- but I have lost track of it because I had it growing only in the open, and I think it froze out. I have not found any that can survive temperatures below 20 F in the open. Jim SHields mentioned R. crocea being slow to develop. My seedlings surprised me last year by flowering (I think they were about 3 years old), and this year they are much more floriferous and larger. This is the only yellow-flowered Mediterranean Romulea, but it is sometimes called R. bulbocodium var. crocea, and Jim mentions having a "yellow bulbocodium," no doubt the same thing. I grow all of mine in the bulb frames and have to be careful to remove the seed capsules before they drop seeds; they are all quite invasive in those conditions. I hope that some of you who are growing a number of South African species will have some to trade this summer! Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon
