Rhodohypoxis

This is a small group of South African "bulbs". The best known is R.baurii which has a couple of forms in the wild which have been crossed to create a variety of cultivars. Usually a few inches tall and long flowering they are quite popular. As they are not fully hardy I plant mine out in their pots in a trough in the spring, bringing them in to dry off completely in greenhouse. I then plant out my Cyclamen coum into that trough for a winter display. They like an acidic, peaty compost and like a lot of water in the spring and summer.

After a few years of being moved in and out of the greenhouse labels get lost. Even if they are not you soon learn that some label pens are just not as indelible as the maker's claim! Above right is probably "Albrighton" or "Great Scott", on the left "Perle", named after someone's dog, I believe.The ones below I am less sure of, one looks like "Pictus" with the pink tips to the white flowers but I don't remember having that in the collection.

Onto "Semps" and Primulas
