Hello Mary Sue, Thanks for the detailed information. I'll just keep trying. I planted a lot of winter bulb seed over the last 3 weeks, including Aristea of different species. The first thing up has been Albuca seed I got from Steven Hammer under the name Albuca sp Naroegas. It was up in 8 days, which is one of the quickest sprouts I've had with bulb seed. Steven had this on his list a year or so ago and the bulbs were gone by the time he got my order, but he had some seed. It's supposed to be fragrant. Yes, if I eventually get seed it will go to the seed bank. Leo Martin Phoenix Arizona USA
