plantladylin said:The Butterfly Iris (Dietes grandiflora) is a beautiful flower! I hope someone will add information to the database regarding seed propagation. We currently don't have anything about growing from seeds (how deep to plant, light, cool, warm, etc.)


Aka the 'Fortnight Lily'. It's a short lived bloom, but quite nice. I don't really know how it got tagged with that name! Fortunately I learned it as Dietes grandiflora from the beginning. That's always nice because I often have trouble unlearning things like that. That's a good idea to add that to the database Lin. I'm not too good at record keeping and not too exact in my methods a lot the time, but I'll think about it and try to come up with how I planted them last year. They proved to be easy to germinate and I got overrun with little plants that I then had to find homes for. I wonder how they are doing now. I only kept four little ones and they are still happy but probably need their containers up-sized.
