Hi, I got some of probably the same batch of seeds. I planted them on January 2, 1998. In November, 1998, I potted up the dormant seedlings into individual 4-inch pots. I had good survival and still have about 4 or 5 bulbs in large pots. They are in individual 8-inch clay azalea pots now, and a couple are in 10-inch clay azalea pots. None have bloomed for me yet, and I keep increasing the size of the pot -- the bulbs I saw at Kirstenbosch were huge, about the size of a large Dutch hybrid Hippeastrum or a Crinum. Each bulb is making a few offsets, which I leave undisturbed. Maybe Bill Dijk can give us some tips on getting these to bloom; please, Bill? I'd like to learn more about this plant. Best wishes to all for the holidays! Jim Shields in central Indiana (USA) ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd. P.O.
