Calydorea error

Last summer I sent out some mature-sized but unflowered bulbs under the
name Calydorea xiphioides, as the seed I grew them from had been called.
Those left here have now flowered, and they are misidentified. In fact,
they are a short-stemmed Herbertia, probably H. lahue although I thought it
was taller (there are several other species of Herbertia, all with similar
flowers, and I can't distinguish which this is from the limited
descriptions I have). I apologize and will give a credit or refund to
anyone who bought them in error.

If you have them and happen to like them anyway, you should give them more
summer water than a Calydorea would want.

Be sure to change the label so you won't perpetuate the error.

Apologies,
Jane McGary
