Something must be right in my greenhouse, one of the Ixia viridiflora
seedlings is just about to open (2nd year from BX seed).

in suddenly rainy San Francisco...not going to make up for the Jan/Feb/Mar
drought, but it is making the garden happy

How wonderful! I’ve wanted one of those for about 2 years! Hard to get
here. So it’s great that you have some growing.

Attached (or attempted) are photos of Ixia viridiflora (or something
similar offered under that name), grown from NARGS seed sown fall 2019

from

2018 SX surplus seeds.

I hadn't grown any bulbs from seed until I joined the PBS a few years ago
in search of Pamianthe peruviana, but after they germinated I got excited
about growing all sorts of bulbs from seed. There's two seedling bulbs in
this pot pushing flower spikes; hopefully their bloom times overlap and

I'm

able to get some seed set.

It's been opening one flower a day for about a week but after yesterday's
cold & rain it really decided to go for it!
