We have a parking strip where we planted a bunch of bulbs-dafodils, narcissus, sparaxis and such. That was a few years back.
We don't water it much in the summer, if at all. The daffodils and narcissus still grow but don't bloom much. The sparaxis on the other hand have gone nuts and seeded the whole thing. Every year there are more and more.

It's a bit of an experiment in natural hybridizing. All of the colors of sparaxis show up. Orange is dominant, but we get some others that are very nice-pinks, whites and a few reds.

With the early rains we had, under all the blooming plants is what looks at first glance to be grass. It's really this years seedlings. See the bottom left corner of the third photo.
