Doug, Thanks for the additional comments. I think the critical factor in my Scadoxus membranaceus is probably the root mass. They are in 8-inch clay 3/4-ht pots. Maybe I should move them to 10-in. pots this fall if they do not bloom. Best regards, Jim ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd. P.O.
