Since my growing South African amaryllids changed from hobby to obsession I have become a student of South African geography in an endeavour to understand those which will tolerate my climate best. With Pietermaritzburg at about 29.5 South and 80km from the East Coast it is surely a kinder climate than Zone 6 which I understand to have minimum winter temperature of -18C to -23C.
