Well, this is proving to be a strange year for me, Having had considerable success with Sparaxis for the first time, I now have Babiana stricta hybrids coming into flower. I have tried several times with these and never had leaves, never mind flowers!
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.
