From Jim Waddick:
16. Bulbs of Cyrtanthus hybrids. They seem close to
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…,
but I have lost the label - or maybe these vigorous bulbs 'ate' the
label. They are easy to grow, prolific and bloom easily. Color is
bright orange red, Bulbs range from 'big blooming size' to mini
starts. Mine grow in a sand based mix with irregular fertilizing and
do well.
Thank you, Arnold, Robin, Rimmer, and Jim !!
Best wishes,
Dell
