Ornithogalum concordianum
Sorry about the blurriness of these photos,but the closeup lens wasn't readily available. This is a plant which isn't readily available: Ornithogalum concordianum (syn.: Albuca concordiana, Albuca concordianum). We've had these little cliff-growing jewels for quite a while and for us, they're rather slow growing. But of course, the are small growing anyway. It's very similar to Albuca spiralis, but the flower color is different. It grows on stony flats from southern Namibia through the northwest Cape to the Karoo and the southeast Cape in South Africa.
As you may have seen in some news reports, we've had more than our share of rain here, with some isolated flooding. It's been nice today but we're supposed to get another 1 to 2 inches of rain tomorrow and periods of rain through the end of the week. Be assured that, though we occasionally get drenched and the clay soil is turning to muck, we're no where near the flooding, sitting on a bluff far above the Willamette River. But I assure you, we're ready for some sun again.

ReplyDeleteIncredible! I have been growing Ornithogalum longibracteatum for a couple years and it's a great plant to have. This one seems equally as interesting. Any spare bulbs in your inventory? Very cool!
ReplyDeleteHi all. We've been growing a few of these on for a couple of years, but we don't have enough to sell at this time. Hopefully we will eventually.
ReplyDeleteWhere can you find these bulbs? Thank you I have been looking a long time
