Lovely pictures, Fermi - and these come to flower so quickly from seed, I'm always surprised that more people don't grow them in med climate areas.

Thank you Fermi. Once more lovely flowers to enjoy. After our heavy rain we have been having sunshine and the wild flowers are out. Yesterday I was pointing out to our granddaughter the orchids which are growing at the base of their hill. She was excited and was taking photographs to show her Dad.

This is what I've been growing as Zephyranthes drummondii though it might actually be the smaller Z. chlorosolen

Habranthus brachyandrus managed to open two flowers at once!
I either need to get a bigger pot or try a bulb in the open garden though I think this one likes water through the summer

This cluster of Habranthus had lost their label but I think they might be a 3rd clone from the Habranthus martinezii x Habranthus robustus 'Russell Manning' cross I made many years ago and posted pics of in 2015

A very appropriate posting after the rains have finally arrived and doused the fires. Thank goodness. Hope neither you nor anybody you know has been badly affected by the fires.

I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.
