I guess there are advantages to a cool climate! Hey those H. martinezii look like mine, lol! Agreed, they are easy. :) Nice potful there.

It is awesome Neal, but the Tigridia you buy with the big flowers grows very easy too, I got seed off some a few years ago and some flowered in the first year. I had a couple of large trays full, but it was a very cold winter and they rotted, should have lifted them. :( These will be coming inside in their pot, I repotted them into a larger pot a few weeks ago so it probably boosted them. Only in my organic mix too, no extra food!

Funky is the word Todd, it does have a bit of a pong though but you have to stick your nose in it. Would be good if they made seed, will have to wait and see as only one flower open at a time. My Dietes grandiflora is making seed from the first flower I got, there was two flowers on one plant/stem, one on another of 4 plants. It nearly made a second flower recently but it died/dried off.

Today's flower with the old one next to it. The flower is maybe an inch or more across.
