I would amend one point that Alberto made. D. grandiflora is the one
species of Dietes that grows in full sun. The flowers last 3 days instead
of the usual one. I have about a dozen plants in the full blazing sun of
Miami FL right now and they look beautiful.

Alberto,

thanks for the info. From what was left of the tag, D. grandiflora would
fit. The seed was collected fresh from an old potted plant.

Ciao,

Dear Jamie:
Your Dietes sounds like D. grandiflora. Fresh seed has
excellent germination. Sow at once and keep moist in a warm place with

good

light (not sun). As you know these plants are evergreen.
Regards
Alberto
