Tigridia

Thanks Dave, but what exactly do you mean by "biffed" them? (Remember, I am not English speaking!) Do you mean you threw them away? Besides, I have no fear that they'll selfsow in my garden. They are free to do that as much as they wish

Yip---i used the word 'biffed' to mean i threw them away .

As an aside my wife when watching Australian Rugby League matches giggles every time the commentators mention there looks to be a bit of "biffo",(fighting),starting.........  

Cheers Dave.

In Norwegian "biff" is something you eat (steak) and nothing else as far as I know
Next time you have some bulbs to "biff" put them in an envelope addressed to me

And kinda like the "biff" at the Café Boeuf on the Prairie Home Comanion show.

Never tried that place
But I remembered a saying "Saken er biff!" which means the case is quite clear.
But where's the Tigridia in all this

I haven't a clue.........

So lets get back to Tigridias  

Finally managed to get a pic of T.augusta at lunch time today--as the flowers only last a few hours all i've seen after work at the end of day is shrivelled flowers.
I understand in it's natural habitat it flowers in spring so it's a few months behind here.

I just love these small examples of the genera and am pleased to find seed of T.durangense ,another beauty has germinated in the last few days.



Cheers Dave.

Nice stuff, Dave,
do these grow in the "normal" seasons with you or do you have to protect them from winter wet, etc ?
cheers

Hello Fermi

I haven't tried T.augusta outside all year round ,however T.chiapensis copes okay uncovered in a sheltered spot so i suspect T.augusta will be the same .

Might have to experiment later on when i go repot. 

Cheers Dave.
