Albuca

Hi,

An email gardening friend send me 2-3 pieces of Albuca shawii. It has
thrived here, reblooming and setting seed once I figured out I had to play the part
of the bee. I like the plant and want to try some more Albuca species.

Silverhill seeds has a number of types. So, which are the "easy" ones.
Which are the plants that tolerate a rain in the wrong season? Are there any from
seasonally moist/wet areas, or any from along streams and rivers?

I grow a few South African winter bulbs in pots. When hot, humid weather
arrives I put the pots away in my laundry room--air conditioned and dry. But,
there I guess someday I'll have to do laundry, so I'm trying to keep away from
plants that won't accept our year round conditions.
