Hi Doug and all,
I have raised Scadoxus multiflorus katherinae and S. puniceus from seed.
Batch of 5 seeds of puniceus planted in summer 1997: 1 plant bloomed last
year (in 5 years), same plant is blooming this year again, no others form
that batch have bloomed
Thanks Jim,
It seems that 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 years is about the needed/expected length of
time for blooming.
Doug
