Hi, I finally took a trip around the garden to note what was blooming in the ground or pots in coastal Northern California. Still in bloom are Zantedeschia 'Blaze', Eucomis bicolor, Eucomis comosa, a hybrid tuberous Begonia, Milla biflora, Scadoxus membraneceus, Acis autumnalis, the Oxalis sp. from Uli and Ecuador, Cyrtanthus elatus x montanus, and Cyclamen hederifolium. I now have a Cyclamen cilicum pot in bloom and a Cyclamen coum (I know it it is unusual for this time of the year.) Another strange one in bloom is Delphinium nudicaule. Most of my Delphiniums are still dormant. New to last week or this are Acis rosea, Cyrtanthus mackenii, and Cyrtanthus sanguineus. I'm very excited about the latter after seeing it in the wild and after many years of waiting for the smaller bulbs not devastated by the Narcissus bulb fly to get big enough to flower. Blooming for the first time probably because I gave it one more year or it was going to the BX is Schizocarphus nervosa. It isn't nearly as lovely as I remember seeing it in the Eastern Cape, but maybe it will get better over time. My first fall blooming Oxalis opened this week, Oxalis MV 4674 which resembles Oxalis commutata I think. And also appearing is Colchicum × agrippinum and the first flower of a cultivar Amaryllis belladonna. The species have been in bloom up and down the coast where I live for weeks now. I have a lot of non blooming ones in my too shady garden, but there are a couple that get enough sun to bloom. Dietes grandiflora has been in bloom for awhile.
