Dear Pascal, Thanks for the introduction to Pancratium a genus I am hoping to grow more. I also want to say how much I enjoy your Amaryllidiacea web site and would commend it to all who are interested in this family. Now here is a tip for those (such as I) whose French is limited to that learned as a schoolboy. If you do a google search for the genus of interest, then scroll through until you find Pascal's site, you can then ask google to translate to English. The valuable cultural information is then available. Cheers, Rob in Tasmania
