Spiloxene serrata is one of the longest blooming species. This year with a dry January, February, and March it is really been putting on a show as there have been a lot more sunny days with enough warmth for the flowers to open. It started blooming in December and is still blooming in March. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… It may not be as spectacular as Spiloxene capensis, but it is a much more reliable and longer bloomer. I suspect this is what your unknown is. Mary Sue Mary Sue Ittner California's North Coast Wet mild winters with occasional frost Dry mild summers
