>>>A beautiful plant. Now I know how South America compensates for not having Calochortus<<< I also enjoy this Cypella tremendously because it resembles Calochortus spp. - and I find it is much easier to grow! >>>I would be interested in Cypella hauthalii opalina sources also<<< I don't have many plants flowering and they don't set many seeds per capsule, but I will send what I've got to the BX when they have ripened. >>>In all my years in the field I have seen tenths of thousands of these plants and never a single one in semishade<<< Thanks to Alberta for giving us insights into the growing conditions it experiences in its natural habitats (perhaps a photograph or two?). More often than not I have found that plants grown in pots tend to appreciate slightly shaded conditions rather than full, blazing sunshine which tends to heat the potting medium up too much resulting in stunted roots. However, conditions do vary and admittedly my conditions are probably quite different to those existing in the field. Good growing Rogan. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please find our disclaimer at http://www.ukzn.ac.za/disclaimer/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- <<<<gwavasig>>>>
