Yes Garg ji,

I had even forgotten that I have Freesia in my database, as age progresses, tend to lose memory . I will check.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Not much difference Garg ji, most of the Freesia plants in the market these days are cultivars of F. x kewensis, an artificial hybrid between F. armstrongii (now considered a synonym of F. corymbosa). and F. refracta.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Singh ji
