Norton - I commend you on your work and I for one am very excited to see that someone is actually taking this on. I find it intriguing that YOU are seeking information on growing this species because it seems to me YOU have more knowledge and experience than just about anyone else. This is one very rare bulb in cultivation and I would estimate there are not many more than 20 or 30 people/collectors world wide growing it. It would also seem that almost all of these plants are from a single clone as I have not heard of anyone successfully pollinating their plants, let alone anyone growing it from seed. Further, seed to my knowledge has never been available for anyone to try to germinate it so your are undertaking true pioneering work here! You pictures posted on the PBS site are a first - I didn't even know what the seed looked like! Keep it up. The world market for this species would be enormous. Bruce Schroder Australia
