Dear Joe, I've been meaning to post this very ID question on the forum! Mine was purchased as "Ixia monadelpha" from Suncrest Nurseries (wholesale) in Watsonville, California, through a retail nursery I work for, about 10 years ago. I haven't done any research yet on whether that is correct, or even a valid name. It seeds around pleasantly, and for me, varies from white to mauve to blue-lavender, with a darker center - quite lovely. All the best, Kristin Jakob, Mill Valley, Marin County (just north of San Francisco), California On Jun 28, 2013, at 11:45 AM, Joseph Kraatz wrote: > Might anyone recognize this genus and species of bulb. It came up in my garden probably from a discarded pot of seeds that didn't originally germinate. Winter grower and spring bloomer. Leaves are extremely straw-like and tiny in diameter about 2 feet long.
