Serendipity that John reproduced the illustration of L. orchioides v. orchioides in his review. It was so drastically different from the plants I grow (from Silverhill seed) that I immediately repaired to the internet in a panic. Luckily, the wiki came to the rescue once again, showing an incredible diversity of flower that I suspect would be difficult to detect in herbarium specimens. Compare mine to the illustration in John's review: http://www.flickr.com/photos/badthings/5513623393/ The relevant wiki page is: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 11:03 AM, John Grimshaw <john@oltarakwa.co.uk> wrote: > I've written a review of The Genus Lachenalia', by Graham Duncan, on my > blog, if anyone is interested. > > http://johngrimshawsgardendiary.blogspot.co.uk/201…. > html > > It's a great book. > > John Grimshaw > > > Visit John Grimshaw's Garden Diary > http://johngrimshawsgardendiary.blogspot.com/ > > Dr John M.
