Thanks Jim, I appreciate your response, somehow I ran across this Genus today and I was a bit shocked I hadn't ran across it any sooner as much as I read. The leaves of T. mira look grass like, are they similar to Habranthus? Is there any idea of what the flowers look like? Josh Anderson, IN ________________________________ From: J.E.

See ref. at: http://www.tropicos.org/Name/1202457/ I have bulbs that I grew from seeds from Mauro Peixoto in Brazil, but they have not so far bloomed for me. I'm not all that sure how I should be growing it..... Jim ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 P.O.
