I hope that is correct. I have donated a few hundred back to them over the years. |

I hope that is correct. I have donated a few hundred back to them over the years. Since I have both growing in my yard, I thought I'd take a few pics of their seed capsules. Aside from the differences in the seed capsules, note that the Belamcambda has straplike leaves very similar to irises, while the Crocosmia has more delicate leaves, less meaty, with prominent venation. Flowers of some Crocosmias are quite similar to Belamcambda chinensis, so the mistake is somewhat understandable. Sometimes a mistake can be a fun surprise. I once purchased "candy lilies" (the picture was definitely Belamcambda) from someone on ebay who sent me some rather large bulbs which I knew could not be what they were purported to be, and I was disappointed. But I planted them in pots and they turned out to be gigantic Asiatic Lilies with spotted flowers having a superficial resemblance to Belamcambda. I love them! ----------------- www.Newsgroup-Binaries.com - *Completion*Retention*Speed* Access your favorite newsgroups from home or on the road ----------------- |
