Bulbine caulescens
7th June 2006
A small fleshy bulb that I bought in a fit of enthusiasm, and then discovered that it produced seed in a wild attempt to overwhelm the world. Fortunately,
before I had a chance to regret its presence, the winter killed it. I still expect to see some tiny seedlings popping up in the surrounding pots. Second time around,
it isn't going to be quite so welcome.

I was right in my assumption that I would be seeing more seedlings. I have removed all of the seed capsules from it this year, but it will probably persist.
I don't mind it, just that it comes up in pots of other bulbs and then slowly displaces the rightful occupants. I had a moment of regret
when I thought that I had allowed the frost to kill it, but it passed when I discovered seedlings germinating around the place.
