When I dug it up, I couldnt find anything... no bulbs or roots!! Thats why I think I killed it.... But I put it in a pot anyway.. you never know... it may be ok..

Re: Does anyone know what this is?? 12Dec 23, 2008 9:39 am If it's a crocus - then you didn't kill it because it grows from a bulb... and it's still in the ground.
But I still doubt it... many years, many crocuses (crocii?), but not this one.

The ground is soooo hard there... Going to fix that area up in the new year... Want to plant bamboo or something tall there.. maybe I'll find the bulbs then?? Quite like lilies!

Re: Does anyone know what this is?? 14Dec 24, 2008 9:40 am It isn't a crocus, it is a Zephyranthes or white autumn crocus. different species, from a different genus and a different family. same order of plants though
I was going on the flower features to identify it and ecoclassic was right that it wasn't a crocus but the the features of the flower indicate at a glance to be a crocus or crocus like flower many crocus do open right up and have pinate petals Re: Does anyone know what this is?? 15Dec 24, 2008 10:05 am musebaby I had a good dig around.

Quite like lilies! Don't plant bamboo! You'll regret it! Well in my experience anyway, sooooo hard to get rid of later on. Re: Does anyone know what this is?? 16Dec 24, 2008 10:10 am Just looked Zephyranthes up on wikipedia. They have pic there and thats the flower!!
Thanks!! (although, I must say that it looks very simular to the crocus!!) You guys know your plants! First time home owner and first time renovator... Re: Does anyone know what this is?? 17Dec 25, 2008 12:06 am Heh heh, I met up with a lady that knows obscenely more names of plants than me. I mentioned this thread and she was onto the name like flys on poo
She mentioned this one, which i am not familiar with , Zephyranthes pulchella, (I think it was) as an option all too much Also thanks to this thread I learnt that Saffron comes from a species of Crocus (an actual Crocus) They make it from the stamens of the flower and hence the yellow colour to saffron Learnt that while looking for pics, so thanks Here's how West Aussies can make sand into soil Checkout The Forever Project Before starting your landscape attend a FREE Great Gardens workshop Re: Does anyone know what this is?? 18Dec 25, 2008 12:11 am Oh and musebaby please plant something like a golden cane palm instead of bamboo! Yeah there are clumping forms and runners but even the clumping ones widen out to a fair width that rarely comforms to domestic garden scale
You are bloody lucky to live in Brissie I recon if Perth and Brisbane collided we would get the perfect Australian city Re: Does anyone know what this is?? 19Dec 26, 2008 11:01 am I have an unhealthy obsession with bamboo.
I have a few different types in pots. My real favourite is Buddha's Belly Bamboo . Cant wait to see it get bigger!! I was soooo excited when I found it in a garden center!! Its in a massive pot!! My DH hates moving it! I would love to plant that!!! Yea, kudos for living in Bris, its great being able to plant soo many plants yaaay! I would love to visit WA, I have a cousin living there... good excuse to go... First time home owner and first time renovator...
