Dear All, After getting Jim's note I thought I should rewrite what I wrote on the Wiki about Calostemma since there seems to be a question about whether the two species in question should be merged. To add a new wrinkle I found in my Encyclopedia of Australian Plants another species mentioned, Calostemma scott-sellickiana. This one is white, blooms Nov-Feb, is from Queensland and the Northern Territories and is described as attractive, very hardy and drought resistant and useful for warm inland or tropical areas. It doesn't like cold wet soils and heated glasshouse is needed for growing in southern Australia. Anyone know anything about it? Here is my revised Wiki page: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I hope I have rewritten it to cover the possibilities. Mary Sue
