Lachenalia Haru No Yume
I've been growing Lachenalias for as long as I can remember. They were one of the first bulbs I successfully grew from seed. My collection grows a bit each year with four or five new seedlings showing their first flowers, generally in the second or third year from seed. Flowers reach their full potential after a season or two of blooming. Most produce offsets, and these bloom much more quickly. Lachenalias were the reason for my first set of miniature pots. They require little room, and do well in small spaces. There are lots of hybrids around, but Komoriya Nursery in Japan has been releasing some exceptional hybrids. One of the best is shown here. More are in my Hyacinth folder.
