Hi all, I would like to " second" Mary Sue's review of the Eastern Cape Bulbs CD. The images are fabulous and the articles extremely informative. While I dont live in a true Mediterranean climate because we get some summer rainfall , it still gets very dry here through summer. Despite this I have found that many bulbs from the summer rainfall area do very well as garden plants. My impression is that even in their native habitat they probably have to tolerate long periods of dry summer at times so are well adapted to areas which dont get a lot of summer rainfall. For me they also seem to tolerate the winter wet that they dont get in their native climate. Genera which do well as garden plants include Boophone, Brunsvigia , Dierama , Eucomis and Moraea.
