And I might add that Jim Waddick is of course correct -- you can't store any of the fleshy Amaryllidaceae seeds for very long. Refrigeration does extend that storage period by a few months, but no more than that. It works with Haemanthus as well. It ought to help with Hymenocallis, Nerine, Scadoxus, and maybe others, but I haven't tried these. Jim Shields At 12:40 PM 9/28/2006 -0400, you wrote: >Thanks to "the Jims" for responding.
