Dear Jim, How tall a plant can be depends to some degree on the growing conditions. I have a lot of Moraea, Homeria subgroup, growing in my garden. In the ground they generally don't bloom until spring (April, May). Sometimes in a pot they may bloom sooner. Many of them have very long leaves that can trail on the ground or be somewhat upright so perhaps they are measuring the length, not the height of the leaves when they describe the foliage. They bloom for me for months and months. In my cooler climate the blooms generally last two days, but in a warmer climate lasted only a day with new ones appearing all the time. Since they offset almost too well, once they start blooming there is almost always one or another in bloom. The ones in the ground are much taller than 6 to 8 inches. I've found they bloom better in the ground, but some have appeared in container grown plants I have (like a limequat) and I haven't figured out a good way to extract them. I try to deadhead every year, but I'm sure I miss some of the seeds. I would always have ones to share with the BX except they can't be sent out of California. We've talked about this before. Some of them are supposed to be toxic to animals and I can't ever remember if that is the reason they are not supposed to be imported to the USA or if it is the weed potential or both. I wouldn't think they would survive in the ground in very cold climates. If you have pictures of your plants, why don't you send them to me privately so I can see how close they resemble the plants I grow. I can't imagine how you could have a dozen corms in a 4 inch pot. The corms in my experience aren't that small. Mary Sue
