Our climate here in No California is almost identical to where sparaxis come from in South Africa. It's called " Mediterranean" - similar to Southern France. So, I have successfully planted lots of sparaxis bulbs over the years. They are spreading, and unlike tulips or most daffodils, they actually come back every year, and increase.

My problem is that 90% of them are the most garish, bright orange you can imagine. The others vary - white, yellow, a gorgeous dark velvet red, mixed, etc. I am trying to find a source for sparaxis bulbs that are NOT orange - does anyone know of one? All of the nurseries and catalogues I have seen just sell "mixed" colors, which turn out to be mostly orange.
