In 2010 I bought seed from the BX 244. Althoughthe bulbs have grown
well, there is no flower as yet. As Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus is
supposed to like moisture, I have had it growing in a container which is
always moist.
I put the photo on a Facebook bulb group page, and I am told that "he
doesn't think it is that one, as brachyscyphus reaches blooming quickly
from seed. From the leaves he thinks it is a species of greater size"
So now I wonder ifthis one C. brachyscyphus? If it is not, it may need
quite different treatment. The bulbs are just over 5cms across.

I did try and email the giver of the seed, but the email got returned by
the mail thingy.
