Actually its not hot blazing sun here yet--still highs 75-80F; but when it does turn hot, it tends to do it rather quickly. I just don't want them to fry. I'm waiting until October for all the rest of the Freesia laxa seeds I have. Just so much to do and so little time.

Cypella coelestes is nothing like dietes (the latter are weeds here and not at all desirable) it is much more well behaved and flowers over a greater period of time:

Also likes a lot more moisture and acidic soil so they should do well for both of us.

How tall did that G dalenii get for you? I need to get it out of that pot and into the ground--quickly!

I have a lot to do today--have 4 varieties of wholesale Zantesdeshia's to try--majestic red (thanks to your PlantFiles pics!), white albo, amethyst, and the biggest black forest bulbs I've ever seen. Two Lachenalia's to plant, some Schizostylis, Sprekelia, and Schizostylis, Zephyranthes 'Batik' and 'Krakatau', some more Hymenocallis eulae or H. galvestonensis (as I prefer). These are all wholesale bulbs. I have one more really large order of wholesale bulbs coming in the next week and that will pretty well do it until October. Then its sorta catch as can from various sources until fall. May they all grow and multiply! Last weekend I got a bunch of Polianthes and Leucocoryne done; I need to be much more productive this weekend. I think the only seeds I'll be doing until fall are some Aristea's and more rain lilies; everything else is just going to have to wait--its getting too late in the year down here now.

Here's some blue-eyed grass from Florida.
