Growing Lachenalia, more pictures

Hello Mike and All,

Thank you for your kind words about the Lachenalia pictures.
Just a short notice to answer your questions. I grow almost all my Lachenalia in pots, the ones on the pictures are pot grown. Only if I have too many I try them outside in ground but after 2 seasons it clearly shows that they are by far outperformed by the potted plants. The difficulty I have with the black pots is that they become too dry and too hot in my climate during summer so I have to move the pots to a shady place.
I wrote an article on my way of growing bulbs in pots which will appear in one of the next Bulb Garden issues.

Bye for now

Uli

I forgot these pictures yesterday…… Hermodactylus tuberosus and Iris lutescens
And for the Lachenalia question here is a picture of Lachenalia namaquana, raised from seed from Monica Swartz.
