Jim, Now is a great time to plant-out any winter growing Amaryllids to the garden. I find that Amaryllids transplant with great success when they are just beginning their season's growth as well as when they are in full leaf. Obviously, you should avoid damage to roots - but I figure plants in active growth are even better able to handle and heal whatever root damage occurs. Your conditions in SB should suit your Brunsvigia and Boophone quite well. -|<ipp ________________________________ From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org> on behalf of Jim Foster <fosterjp@cox.net> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 4:40 PM To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org Subject: [pbs] Boophone disticha I planted a rather large, dormant bulb in my garden in June 2015. This spring it produced a nice flower and I was anticipating that it would go dormant sometime this Fall but it is still in robust leaf. I also have a B. josephinae which has leaved out but didn't produce a flower despite being planted at the same time. Perhaps they need more time to acclimate. I have others in pots which over the past couple of years have been really screwed up in their leaf habits. Brunsvigia bosmaniae, Brunsvigia grandiflora, Boophone haemanthoides are also in pots but I would like to put them in the ground. Is it the time of year to do so? Some have just begun to grow. I also have an Ammocharis which Greg Decharico correctly identified. I have had it for about 16 years in a pot and would like to give it an opportunity to free range its roots! It is in leaf now so should I risk it? I guess most of my questions biol down to when can these be put in the ground.
