    Hi.
    Mine have also done the same this year. After reading up about them it states they flower August, September, October.
    Did yours end up flowering?

      Here in the S.W. of France, and in spite of very hot summers, mine often only show the first bloom in September, but then they continue flowering until the end of November. I dead-head and lift the bulbs, replanting in pots in mid-March.

    I think these are real stunners. I put them in a pot in March, and like you expect flowers - then at the end of August, they came into full bloom, and still are - such a joy at this time of year! Mine were saved from last year; I tend to lift/dry/store and pot up the offsets in the greenhouse for more stock. Hope yours are in flower now.

      Acidanthera are beautiful. I put in some corms in May - they flower very late, and a few of mine haven't flowered, possibly because of the cold weather in May. However most have done so, starting at the end of August and some still going now, in early November. I need to get them up soon, but am waiting for the foliage to turn brown.
