Albuca tortuosa is one of my favorite summer growing species. It's mostly evergreen, produces yellow, somewhat fragrant flowers. It can get large, but not unruly. It almost fits into Uli's criteria of a perfect Albuca for him. Monica, I have had success pollinating this species. I used the microwave method, taking off a little pollen, microwaving it for 15 seconds, then mix with fresh pollen and pollinate several times throughout the lifespan of the flower. It made pods and now I have a near mature few plants. I recorded that success on the wiki page: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Nhu On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 1:57 AM, Brian Whyer <brian.whyer@btinternet.com> wrote: > Albuca nelsonii is easy here (UK).
