Babiana rubrocyanea

Hi Jude,
Dormant? I thought they are going to bloom in winter. (Actually it is spring here. We do not have winter here.)
I live in Southern California. Many plants from Mediterranean basin and South Africa are growing season here, and
ready to bloom. I found yellow flower buds of Tulipa sylvestris. Heirloom irises are in bloom. Some daffodils are in bloom.

Could they just be going dormant ?

Hi PBS Members:

I can not remember the number of box for Babiana rubrocyanea that I
received last year. I planted last fall.
They quickly germinated, however, leaves turned brownish color since
December. I got so disappointed.
They are getting worse and worse, and I’m afraid that I won’t have a
chance to see flowers.
Leaves of another variety, Babiana strict, have also slightly brownish
color at the tip, but they
are still growing well.

This is caused by some disease, infection, or too much water?

I need an advice.
