Here's some stuff right outside the back door (this lovely shot--and I say that tongue in cheek--the yellow water hose really makes the pic--was taken last night after work) that might interest you for various reasons:

#1 is another JC Harvey crinum I was considering keeping for myself and putting out front--perhaps I might should re-evaluate that choice and keep the other one. ;)

The Gladiolus dalenii 'Halloweenie' is a single bulb a buddy sent me in November. I think its big enough to bloom later this spring/summer. It's just emerging...

Those Triteleia's (Butte Co strain) came from Telos--I'm really impressed by them. They are still in bloom and began blooming 2/17--I think that's a long bloom span for this bulb in this climate. After all, this hasn't exactly been southern CA here this winter with all this rain--lol

These red laxa's I started from seed in September--they sulked most of the way thru winter, but I never pulled them in during frost. I left them by the door to keep them far away from the ones in the ground to keep seperate seed strains.

These Freesia leichtlinii's are on their second year. I did them from seed and I believe they are going to bloom before it gets too hot. Was expecting to have to wait 3 yrs on these.

These Cypella coelestes are from the same seed batch as I sent you some from--I started this particular pot of seeds in August. They re-emerged like a train wreck waiting to happen. Just pointed them out to let you know what to expect.

The white circle is where I attempted to circle the tag on the Ipheion sellowian above but it turned into a "blob". I'm obviously not very good at the "paint" feature--lol. The pic above was 3/17 but it is blooming again today--but it was too late to get another shot before I realized it.
