Thanks Gabe I was a bit worried, I know you sent those great metal labels with the plants but I'm not great at keeping things in the right place. I'm really pleased and surprised it's only taken 5 or 6 months to get a flower. Royal Purple you sent has three flowering size stems and is about to flower too. I guess once the flower goes I can try and propagate from the corm. Is there anything I can do to fertilize the single flower on African Red so I can get seeds ? Seems a shame to cut open the male part of the flower to get pollon but I'll do it if that's what is needed.
Thanks
Steve
