Hi,

In Coastal Northern California the Oxalis, Cyclamen, Nerine, and
Crocus continue to bloom. Crocus niveus has been especially nice. And
the pink form of Oxalis flava is now blooming.

New bloomers this week are:
Freesia fucata
Iris unguicularis
Lachenalia rubida
Nothoscordum montevidense
Polyxena maughanii syn. Lachenalia maughanii

Griffinia aracensis has surprised me with another new spike on what
looks like the same bulb that now has a spike in seed and I saw
another flower on Romulea macowanii this week. That's a very long
bloom time for this plant with its yellow flowers that bloom almost
on top of the soil.

I also spy a touch of white in the middle of the leaves of Haemanthus
deformis so it will be in bloom soon.
