x Rhodoxis 'Ruby Giant' x Rhodoxis 'Ruby Giant'

A super hybrid out of the UK from crossing the two related genera, Hypoxis and Rhodohypoxis.  These genera occur in South Africa and are small bulbous members of the Iris family.  While just a few inches tall, these are showy beyond the implied limits of their size and can cover themselves for weeks in large red flowers.  Easy to grow and a fast increaser, this will become a favorite.  Cold climates can be overwintered inside where cool.

Hesperantha coccinea select seedling large red Hesperantha coccinea 'Rivoli Red'

A superior red seedling that arose here and one that is a bit larger than the other large red selections we grow. It was fun to lay out a table of flowers of all the cultivars and our seedlings for comparative evaluation.  It was quickly apparent that it is hard not to love red and might as well go big. Just add water, food and sun.

Rhodohypoxis - White (aka Matt's White) Rhodohypoxis - White (aka Matt's White)

This is one coming out of the garden of Matt Mattus and has garnered the name 'Matt's White'.  This may be a name functioning more as a placeholder for origin than a proper clonal name.  It is a good doer and basically obscures the foliage when in flower so be forewarned if you like leaves with your flowers.

Crocosmia 'Lana de Savary' Crocosmia 'Lana de Savary'

A refined selection with rich bright red flowers and named in 1993 by Cornwall gardener John Hogan for Lana de Savary.  We can't fault the name as a cursory google search reveals that the socialite Lana de Savary is not only red-haired but apparently both bright and ungodly rich.  We have more cool plants than her though.

Kniphofia thomsonii 'Stern's Trip' (syn. Triploid Form" Kniphofia thomsonii 'Stern's Trip' (syn. Triploid Form)

The penultimate 'Poker in our opinion at this particular moment.  Tall wands of orange tubulat flowers well spaced on the stem evoke images of Aloes in Southern California.  A good spreader which quickly makes a clump.  I generally view this barefoot as it knocks my socks off anyway.
