@hampartsum Arturo, if you can, try to find a source of erythronium revolutum.They have such an elegant bloom for shade and the leaves are heavily marbled, and if that is not enough, they're quite tough and return year after year for me.This is probably a seedling of revolutum.

@vanozzi

Here's the Pink Fawn Lily (Erythronium revolutum) database listing if you'd like to add your beautiful photo to it. Pink Fawn Lily (Erythronium revolutum)

Thank you Paul, I'll find a source for E. revolutum. I'm expecting a batch of E.montanum by the end of sep. They'll go to my trials bench. Spring is around the corner here and everything getting ready to sprout...and a lot of of work ahead though enjoyable...

My purple lilies are up and blooming. Alas, I have gone and lost the identity of this hybrid.

I have hit them early with a systemic insecticide. Every year the are devastated by the caterpillars of the moth Brithys crini, a lily borer. The lilies turn into decrepit piles of smelly, rotten mash.

Those look like Crinum lilies Glen

Your a wonder, Jack. Found a database photo of mine.

Thanks Glen! Got one myself.

These have shot up from dormancy and flowered with spring . They were rescued from an old abandoned homestead on the island. The area is now under a huge new building. Someone also identified these for me once but a mean computer loss last year took them from me. The leaves look like gladioli leaves.

Ixia perhaps?

G'day Glen, I think your bulb is Freesia laxa ssp. laxa. If so, it used to be Anomatheca laxa.A nice white form is Joan Evans.

Thanks Paul. I think you nailed it. That was the first flower for the season. I will post another photo when mobs are out.

A few daffodils flowering

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I'm jealous.

Are daffodil bulbs chilled or treated in any way in a zone 10 ?
What would be the lowest temperature there in winter?
Curious as many double and or exotic daffs don't like our colder climate.

@vanozzi, very nice, especially now with several months to go for us.
I hope you add them to the database

I'm in zone 9a and there are lots of daffodils that don't do well here because the ground never gets cold enough to give them the chilling they require. However, there are also ones that will grow and bloom here. I only grow those. We're lucky that there are growers/sellers who specialize in bulbs for the south.

There certainly has been and are a lot of Australian (and New Zealand) daffodil breeders.

As Sondra said, some varieties do fine in Zone 10, and others don't. I have some that come up every year, but never bloom, and some that do very well, depending on weather, I think. Last winter was warmer than usual, and very dry, so the Daffs suffered along with everything else in my garden.

As promised. Lots of blooms are up for Freesia laxa. The only common name I can find for it is FALSE FREESIA.

Beautiful blooms Paul and Glen. It's nice to see your spring blooming bulbs at this time of year, when our gardens on this side of the pond are preparing for the onset of winter.
