Dear Mary Sue and Tom:
I have grown most of the species of Lachenalias and
those really difficult in this rainy climate were of Namaqualand and Karoo
origin. They grew well but were extremely susceptible to summer moisture in
the mix while dormant. Since we have year round rains special precautions
were taken, read lifting the bulbs for the summer and keeping them in jars
with a thick dry peat or vermiculite cover.
Regards
Alberto
