Hi All, To my wonderful surprise, I have three flowering stems on my xAmarine that shot up out of nowhere. We've been having an extremely dry summer until recently and I swear they responded to the cool weather and rain almost immediately.

Hi, (thinly disguised test message). My first amaryllis opened today, there will be many more, I've got 7 stems this year. No nerine bowdenii yet, but there are buds. I got two heavy boxes of bulbs last week - just need to decide that the bedding plants have had their day and get on with dibbing bulbs. -- David Pilling http://www.davidpilling.com/
