Awesome photo Elaine, I just repotted my synandrospadix vermitoxicus this morning. I was reading online that they like the bulb to be planted quite deep. Mine had been near the surface and it was not growing very fast so I made some adjustments. Hope it takes off like yours now.

Dale what is that orange one in your third picture?

This is not a trop but a lovely little native, Ruellia Caroliniana, the flowers are about 1 1/2" across and it self sows freely but it is easy to prick out. So far I have not had to do much of that, it looks great under other plants and acts as a living mulch in some places.
