I bought these a few weeks back
Will put some around the lily pond, have never grown Ixia here before
I hope they do well, Ruffled Freesia's sound interesting also
And I will be looking forward to seeing them flower..

Ixia's a great little bulbs , I am digging up most of the aggies pants along the front fence and going to pop bulbs in, the aggies are sucking TOO much water from under the fence and the standards a re not doing well at all 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

Thanks for that Cheryl..
That will be a job and a half, my aggies which I never water have thick white roots on them that must go all the way to China..
You watch that back now, better still get some one else to dig them up.
Hope your new bulbs dont get pinched, isn't that spot outside the fence.

yes it is, but should be okies, I got them for nothing so not fussed, just mixed like you have about and others, nothing of any great significance

if they don't they're weeds.

I have a few ixias, they do well here.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.
