Dear All, Here is another picture of both forms of Lachenalia viridiflora, on the left is the form with spotted leaves grown from Oron Peri seed. On the right the plain leaved form from Silverhill seed which is shorter. The second picture is a closeup of the Silverhill form. I have looked at the flowers following our discussion and cannot find any difference. The white spots on the leaves of the Silverhill form were caused by a hailstorm. Both forms were sown in November 2018 and flower for the first time. The dark green leaves with a pale rim in front are from a Scilla. I grow several different bulb species in the same pot. My winter growing bulb seed is completely kept outside in the open garden and exposed to the elements and fluctuating temperatures in a frost free Mediterranean climate. Not all the seeds germinate but in general the results are very good. I would have thought that warmth would rather prevent germination because it signals the onset of dry weather and herewith dormancy in their natural habitat.
