...and the danger of scale. Dear Friends, I recently inquired about my confusion over Homeria collina now in full bloom in a small pot. The pot label was clearly readable as this species and I had to believe. I diligently checked the wiki and flowers looked very similar, VERY similar, but things didn't seem quite right. I mentioned the odd size difference and posted my questions. Mary Sue very kindly and calmly instructed me that my plant is more likely Tritonia dubia due to a number of characters including not only the scale of my plant which is the proper size for Tritonia, but she also defined the bloom season and various anatomical characters including the fleeting nature of Homeria flowers. I suppose I should have questioned size alone even more , but Mary Sue confirmed the ID to my complete satisfaction and understanding. There is a problem with the wiki and indeed with any photos that show a small portion of the plant. I have complained mildly about this before that often ONLY flower close-ups are not enough to ID an unknown. It would be nice to have some idea of scale such as a ruler, a hand or other unit of measure. And it would be nice to see the entire pant habit. Turns out Homeria has a single stout leaf per plant and a distinct basal form (Thanks Mike). Of course the problem that from my Midwest viewpoint Homeria is as unknown to me as Tritonia so either seemed equally possible. Having not grown either the ID is always a Q and A situation. I suppose it suggests that an avid or curious gardener just needs to try EVERYTHING. Look out Bulb Ex. Again thanks to all who helped out this remedial bulb grower. Jim W -- Dr. James W.
