I grow South African bulbs inside a greenhouse and out of doors.

The only ones flowering now are Whiteheadia bifolia (now called a Massonia) and Nerine undulata, in the greenhouse.  One year I must take note of when they begin to flower -they go on for such a long time, but I've never figured out exactly how long.
