Hello-

I have a couple new flowers and I would like to confirm the identities, if
anyone has experience with this genus. Neither of these are listed on the
Wiki.

#1: Dipcadi ciliare <http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/…>

#2 Dipcadi brevifolium
<http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/…>

Considering how many species of Dipcadi there are; it doesn't seem like many
are in cultivation. I have 2 more species; but not the more common D.
serotinum or montanum that I was able to find pictures.

I tried Google to see if there were any interesting websites and didn't find
anything. I didn't see anyone selling these bulbs either.

Thanks for any info on these or other species.

Best regards, Lisa
