Belated Eucomis posting
Dirk Wallace (Sat, 23 Aug 2003 16:53:08 PDT)

Hi Paul and Dave,
For your interest there are a number of
images of Eucomis in the ABA images gallery. Several forms of E. autumnalis
are there as well as E. zambesiaca. Does this help?

http://ausbulbs.org/bulbgal/categories.php/…

Eucomis zambesaica tends to offset profusely for me, whereas E. autumnalis
generally does not. I do not grow Eucomis autumnalis 'Dwarf White'. Does
this one offset at all Dave?

Kind regards,

Dirk

Hi Paul,

The dwarf white I have had a couple of IDs for so I have left it

unnamed.

Paul dont laugh but it looks identical to a hybrid of Eucomis autumnalis
called 'White Dwarf'. It's also actually sold as a packeted bulb and is
produced in Holland by the 10s or 100s of thousands.

Managed to see you pink flowered form, very nice.

Best Wishes,
Dave
