How do I distinguish the varieties?
   5 Nov 2016
Mike variety hygrometrica has one flower per stem and the outside of the tepals are glaberous, while villosisepela has more than one flower per stem and tepals are hairy on outer surface. Hypoxis vaginata is completely hairless and thats it for ACT Hypoxis.
