Hi, Many of us who grow Amaryllids seeds from the opposite hemisphere find we can keep these growing on for the first year at least and later get them to adjust to the proper dormancy. This has been my experience with all the Brunsvigia seeds I have tried. You will need to protect them from the cold however. What I find very strange is that one year I got seed of Brunsvigia grandiflora from the Huntington Gardens. (Seed Michael Vassar donated to the BX). It arrived in February and I had green leaves by March. I kept it growing as long as I could and it has become a summer dormant Brunsvigia for me. I tried to keep watering it this summer but it still went dormant. I assumed Michael would have known the correct species but perhaps not. Either it is really a winter growing Brunsvigia species and was misidentified or I have reversed the only Brunsvigia species I have grown from seed from my hemisphere! This reminds me that the recent suggestion from Paul Tyerman to Doug Westfall about adding pictures of Doug's Haemanthus leaves to the wiki is a great idea. I'd like to see pictures of leaves of all the Amaryllid leaves. You don't always find pictures of both leaves and flowers in the books since they often don't both occur together. We saw a lot of Amaryllid species in the wild in South Africa and I wanted to know what they were. Looking at my field guides was often of little help since there weren't pictures and not always descriptions either. So Rob Hamilton and Bill Dijk if you are reading this how about adding some Brunsvigia leaves to the wiki? Thanks. Mary Sue
