id on bulbs needed

Hi

This plant/shrub grows in my garden...it has small red flowers on it when in season and comes back every year. Can you please tell me what it is, when to plant bulbs and when they're available as i'd like to get some more.

Thanks

 

can you give a bit more detail about when the plant flowers? It is not the clearest of photos, but foliage is possibly Crocosmia or Libertia? What makes you so sure it's a bulb?

 

Hi,

I am new to this, how do I post my own thread? I can't see a button for it anywhere?

 

I think it could be Schizostylis, aka Kaffir Lily or Crimson Flag. Should be available as corms in the spring or " in the green " early summer.:gnthb:

 

Hello mcmac74. I can't answer your question but I am sure something will be along shortly who can.

Hiya Dave ... whoops, don't know my left from my right ... :hehe: It's also on the top LEFT as you open a new forum, top and bottom ... :yez:

 

You know I've never noticed the top button until you mentioned it :thumb:

I must pay attention in class..I must pay attention in class..I must pay attention in class..

 

:yez: Yes, teacher, you must ... :hehe:

 

Agree with Daitheplant - looks very much like Schyzostylis - never very good at spelling though........

 

hmmm, I never thought of Schizostylis...but I think you might be right Dai, although I would have thought they would have still been in flower when the pic was posted.

julia, that certainly looks a lot like it! I think they're bulbs because my ex tended the garden before me and she told me so! She doesn't know the name though. The plant doesn't come out of a single stem.
