Is that what is also called Acidantera? I used to grow them, but I had a lot of thrip problems with them and had to pull them all out. Yours look lovely. They do add a nice color to the garden this time of the year. |

Nerines have been blooming for the past few weeks. One of my favorite fall blooming bulbs. I wish they would multiply for me. I have this lighter pink and a darker pink.![]() |

Dianne, These are also called: Synonym:Acidanthera bicolor Synonym:Acidanthera murielae I see some of the white narcissus poking up their heads, too. While the earth remains, Seed time and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease. Gen. 8:22 |

If they bloomed properly for me, I would have kept them. The thrips caused all of the flowers of my acidanthera to be deformed. Looks like they do very well for you, Betsy. I think Nerines are an under-appreciated species of bulbs. They make great cut flowers. ![]() |

Dianne, those nerines are lovely; I don't have any of these yet ![]() I had forgotten where I placed the acidanthera so I'm so glad they came up! I'm going to mark them.. While the earth remains, Seed time and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease. Gen. 8:22 |

Alessandro -- please, oh please add the above image to the database. ![]() I garden for the pollinators. |

I have not seen that species here. Is it pretty hardy? Tarev - I have the same problem with the acidanteras - lots of leaves, few to no blooms. Because of that and the thrips, I have been trying to get rid of them for years. They multiply like crazy and big patches still come up year after year. J - nice bessera. Haven't seen those locally either. |
