Hi Mary Sue, Zepheranthes are also flowering here in Gippsland and I have three out at present. Z. labufferosa (is this correct?) , Z. fosterii which is a beautiful rosy color, Z. minima, a very small flower. I'm hoping to see more this year, as some I have, haven't flowered as yet for me. Other species flowering are Habranthus which have ermerged in a thunderstorm. Also, the beautiful Cypella coelestus, which goes under a couple of other names (Phallocallus is one), which is in a pot near my pathway and is flowering it's head off every day, more blooms coming out. Very spectacular. regards, Bill Richardson, Ixia King Summer 16c-42c. at present West Gippsland, Victoria, Australia ixia@dcsi.net.au Ixia Web site: http://www.angelfire.com/ri/ixia/ --------- And blooming earlier than it ever has (mid January) is Zephyranthes atamasco. I know we already have it well pictured on the wiki, but I couldn't resist adding one more picture since it is such a pretty thing. Mary Sue
