That’s a lovely coloured flower. I’ve planted mine outside in a new bed this year which will be wet protected in winter. Seems to be doing well so far and the bees love the flowers!

This one is O. cespitosa/macrorhiza (likely conspecific), O. humifusa is spineless with inconspicuous areoles and lacks red inner tepals.
I really like this clone too Mark! Bit nervous of exposing mine to the ravages of our local slugs and snails but notice you are also in rainy NW England. If I find space in my bulb frames I might try it there.Mark07 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 6:45 pm That’s a lovely coloured flower.
