Homeria Collina

Homeria Collina - A choice bulbous plant from the Cape, thriving in such light southern soils as suit Sparaxis, Ixia, and the like. The flowers, in finely blending tints of orange or salmon pink shaded with purple about a yellow eye, are 2 1/2 inches across and borne four or more together on stems of 2 1/2 feet. They close towards evening until morning. The leaves are 4 feet long and half an inch wide, and are so succulent that unless carefully protected from snails they are soon eaten through. The bulbs increase rapidly in warm open soils, and they may be left in the ground with a covering of ashes in the south. Seed ripens freely, and germinates without any trouble in sunny seaside gardens.
