James, I've grown the species Ipheion uniflorum and the selections 'Rolf Fielder', 'Froyle Mill', Charlotte Bishop', 'Alberto Castillo', 'Alba' and 'Jesse'. Even the species I. dailystemon, I. hirtellum and I. sellowianum (=Nothoscordum sellowianum). I have never noticed more than one flower per pedicel on any of these, although now that you asked, I'm going to pay closer attention this year.

Does it ever have 2 or more per ? And Ipheion 'Rolf Fiedler' , long suggested as a 'different ' species from typical uniflorum...How many flowers does it have per stem? Does any Ipheion have multiple flowers per stem? And what about the 'new' 'Jessie' said to be an improved 'Rolf Fiedler'. how many flowers per stem ? Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
