Hi Angelo,

as I know many of you have got seeds of Brunsvigia grandiflora,
germinating now, an old question come up again in my mind. This
species is summer growing, if I don't wrong, so the question is how to
look after these seeds? They need to be sown immediately as they can't
be stored till next spring, but in the Northen hemisphere we are going
to the winter season. This means the seedlings have to grow in winter;
a nonsense then?

I sowed Brnsvigia grandiflora seeds in May 2002 - (our autumn) and
they remained in leaf through their second winter here, without any
protection from the elements.
