I grew this plant from seed which always means there is a chance it could be wrongly named. In the beginning it flowered in summer, but eventually here in Northern California it flowered in fall so I gradually changed it around to be dormant in summer, but start watering it early like I do some of the fall flowering Oxalis. The new Iridaceae from Southern Africa book from Manning and Goldblatt (1159 large pages) says it flowers in South Africa from December to March. So even there it can flower in early fall. I'll attach one of mine that flowered last year. It's flowering again at the moment. My flowers and the ones from Cameron on the wiki taken in habitat look different from the ones in Laura's photo. And I hope her plants aren't virused. Not all of the petals in her photo look the same size like the ones in Cameron's photos. Manning and Goldblatt's book says the pollen is yellow. There are 65 species so it would be easy to confuse them. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
