Hi all,

I sent some seed of this Australian plant to the Seedex earlier
this year and because it is in flower at present I decided I should
post some images to let you know more about the genus.

Mary Sue has kindly set up a new wiki page for this genus at :

http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…

We have a grassy bank above our home which has a 100 or
more
clumps ( the seed source) and it is a common roadside plant
which I never tire of seeing. It starts flowering here in
early October and continues until around the end of November.

I dont know a lot about raising it from seed but I did sow
some seed in March this year and had seedlings within a couple
of months. They are now 3-4cm tall and starting to form
small clumps.

Yes , I like it enough to want to plant some clumps around
our garden !

Cheers,

Rob in Tasmania
