Dear All, I agree that Albuca is an underrated genus that needs more widespread cultivation. However I find it difficult to accomodate those large pots of wintergrowing Albucas full of floppy leaves in the greenhouse and I also find it inconvenient to have them in flower in spring when the greenhouse is bursting with young plants and many flowers anyway. How many summer flowering species (or hybrids???) are there that are suitable for pot culture or temporary cultivation in the open soil in the garden? Could they be dug up and stored dormant in winter? Does anybody have experience with Albuca bulbs cultivated like let's say a Galtonia? If pot grown plants would be winter dormant their size would not matter, on the contrary I would appreciate large tubs with many scapes preferably scented and of a good size to be good focal plants. In my climate I would not expect Albucas to be reliably hardy so greenhouse or pot culture is necessary. Does anybody know of sources for summergrowing Albucas or is anybody willing to swap or sell them? At present the number of Albucas I grow is limited to 3: A. aurea, not really yellow but rather green, not scented and I will probably stop growing this. A single bulb of A angolensis with long channelled leaves clad in long soft hairs (I would love more bulbs of this species) and a large bulb from South Africa with upright facing flowers in a greenish yellow and with a wonderful scent, but it had an almost two year long dormany, only just showing some green leaf tips........
