Hi, I've spent a lot of time upgrading the Watsonia wiki page adding photos and information of many new species which meant I had to split it up as it was getting too long. Watsonia is a genus in the Iridaceae family that grows in both winter and summer rainfall areas of southern Africa. Some of the species are quite tall, but there are shorter species too. Some are evergreen and others deciduous. Some only bloom well in the wild after a fire and then are most spectacular, flowering in mass. In my garden the species I grow don't flower every year. Watsonia meriana var. bulbillifera is a worrisome taxa in climates that suit it as it spreads dramatically replacing native plants and not looking very attractive most of the year (my bias). Other species or hybrids naturalize where I live in coastal Northern California with little care, but don't spread so much and are more attractive. I think many of the species are quite similar and so it is frequently difficult to identify them from a picture where you can't measure the tube or other parts of the flower, often can't see the leaves or the bracts which are often important in identification. Hope you enjoy what I have created. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
