Hi, Newly blooming this week are these Oxalis: Oxalis pardalis MV 7632, Oxalis hirta (mauve form), Oxalis polyphylla v. heptaphylla MV 43811B, Oxalis bowiei, and Oxalis zeekoevleyensis. Unlike Shirley I start watering in August. I found from experience if I waited until it starts to rain to water Oxalis, they fall blooming ones are late to appear and don't bloom. I tend to plant them as I see them starting into growth. Also blooming are Gladiolus carmineus, Zephyranthes candida, Bessera elegans, Nerine angustifolia, Tulbaghia cominsii x violacea, Hesperoxiphion peruvianum, Nerine humilis, and some other new Nerine hybrids. One that has been blooming and I never added to the wiki, but I think it would probably qualify since it is deciduous and looks tuberous is Talinum paniculatum. I note that it is described as an annual or a subshrub some places, but I started seed many years ago and one I put in a container continues to reappear every year grown outside in my climate and not sheltered from the winter rainfall. When looking up about it on the Internet I found comments that the leaves are edible and a good spinach substitute. Perhaps I should save seed for the BX for all those people who like to grow bulbs with edible parts. Another bizarre blooming at the moment is Delphinium luteum. Normally this time of year it is still dormant. Mary Sue Mary Sue Ittner California's North Coast Wet mild winters with occasional frost Dry mild summers
