Moraea lovers rejoice. Despite the drought, My few raised beds of moraeas
in No. Calif. put on their best show in ten years. The sparse rains must
have hit at the right time. I gave the bulk of my 25 year collection to
Michael Mace in San Jose CA.to caretake for the future. The remainder have
been a delight and there will be many seeds for moraea lovers. They began
in Feb. with M.ciliata(white and various blues), M. macronyx(yellow and
yellow-white), M.aristata, bellendini, calcicola, fergusonii, fugax,
flicaulis, gawleri, gigandra, loubseri, luridaa, papillionacea, polyanthos,
serpentina, stricta, tortillis, tricuspidata, tripetela, tulbaghensis,
vegeta, villosa in assorted colors,and ending now with the wonderful M.
vespertina. It opens when yuo are at supper or vespers with large white
slightly fragrant blossoms which fade by dark. Between my brush but mainly
bees and bugs many are producing seed for BX and you. If you have special
interest let me know.
