This is supposed to be my entry for week 11, but I got sidetracked. I took the photo of the plant a few days ago. This is a Chasmanthe. I got a few small corms with small stalks attached a couple of years ago. I was visiting a friend in the bay area in February, and this blooming plant caught my eye. It grew into a nice-sized patch in 2 years - I have heard that they can get invasive so I will be deadheading religiously.
