Jim, Arnold, Fred, and all, I've had miserable luck with a batch of different named Nerine sarniensis hybrids that a friend gave me several years ago. I have tried keeping them in the greenhouse, dry, through summer, with very poor results. Out of a dozen or more different hybrids I was given, I have only 6 left alive. I tried keeping them outdoors, under a bench in the lath house, through summer. One year, that worked great! I had the only flowers I have seen on these after that summer. The next summer, leaving them outside under the bench in the lath house was the same as leaving them in the greenhouse over summer -- serious deterioration. I didn't participate in the rescue because I had had such poor luck with these things. I really don't know how to grow sarniensis hybrids here. A couple hybrids do well here -- 'Pink Triumph' is one that is healthy in a pot here over summer, although it does not bloom. 'Nikita' is a bowdenii selection that also does well. 'Pink Triumph' is sterile, but 'Nikita' is fertile and I have seedlings from it. Regards, Jim Shields ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd.
