As a follow up to an image I posted last year on the wiki wiki, I can report that it looks like the cardiocrinum I have grown is going to flower this year. The new growth is in the form of a stalk that is pushing straight up and at this point is about twelve inches tall. There are heart shaped leaves attached, clutching close to the stem. I think Jim M. may have mentioned that when the bulb pushes up from the soil it is a sure sign that flowering is on the way. As I uncovered the bulb from its winter mulch the bulb had pushed up three to four inches. It was planted as a two year old from Heronswood Nursery before the nursery was sold. Sadly I can't post an image. My digital camera was the victim of a loan to a friend and didn't make it back in operating condition. Any recommendations on a good replacement will be greatly appreciated. Please post privately to Arnold@nj.rr.com Arnold
