I love this corm.I saw it in an antique book about bulbs and spent months locating a source, I found a nursery in west Virginia that would part with two corms off his mother plant. $12.00 and a 4 hour drive. The flowers on mine are near white with purple and grass like leaves. I let it go dormant after it blooms and stick it in a closet ,I take it out and water it in October and by Christmas its covered with flowers.I guess I have to divide it soon it seems to be getting crowded

One of my favourites. My non-geek variety, just appeared along with seeds or a bought in plant. We were at the Worcester Botanical Garden Nursery – and I overheard two women – Try this it will spread everywhere, Oh no sniffed the other, don't want that! It does seed vigorously, and it makes bulbs within the sheaves of leaves above the ground. Beautiful dancing little flowers, but keep an eye on it.

What a beauty! I have never seen or heard of this plant, but I love the delicate nature of the flowers and how they cascade down around the green foliage. So pretty – thanks for sharing!
