Hi, There was a blank post from Linda Press Wulf yesterday, this is what the missing content was: " In the PBS wiki, I read the following about a freesia that has naturalized in my own N. California garden, like that of Mary Sue Ittner. It mentions the flowering time being late July to early October, which is not what happens in my garden. I realized that the months mentioned in the Wiki are the months where the plant originates. Is that correct? If so, wouldn’t it be more helpful for the Wiki, on a regular basis, to state the season, rather than the months? In this case, that would be late winter to early spring. Freesia leichtlinii subsp. alba (G.L.Mey.) J.C.Manning & Goldblatt is described as all white, or cream, flushed purple, usually with the base of only the lower median tepal marked yellow to orange. The tube is 20 to 40 mm long with the basal narrow part 5 to 20 mm. Growing from 20 to 50 cm, this subspecies has inclined or suberect leaves. It has smooth to slightly wrinkled seeds and flowers late July to early October. It has naturalized in coastal Northern California gardens, but may not be reliably hardy elsewhere. Photos by Mary Sue Ittner of flowers that have naturalized in her garden, growing both in sun and shade. There is also a picture of a flower with extra petals, one showing the purple backs, and the seeds next to the capsule (on a 1 cm grid).
