Scadoxus seed to bloom

Hi Doug and all,

I never doubted that Cape Town was a better place to grow plants than
Indiana is, but is it possible that it is also better than "Lotusland" in
Southern California?

By the way, it also has lots prettier scenery!

in the aforementioned miserable Indiana, where the temperature is +20 °F
(-6.7 °C) with only 4 inches (100 mm) of snow if you don't count the
blowing and drifting

Dear Doug
For Scadoxus multiflorus ssp katherinae in Cape Town it is about 3 years for
the first plants to flower, and at 4 years they all flowered.
Regards
Rachel Saunders
