Jim, indeed this time of the year is very generous of blooms, at least in my area. I have a late-flowering forms of Amaryllis belladonna, a ten of Haemanthus coccineus, a second wave of Lycoris radiata, Crinum moorei, Sternbergia lutea in full glory, Narcissus serotinus, Scilla lingulata, some nerine sarniensis just coming up, countless Tulbaghia violacea. Past Sunday the beach was still full of people ;-) Angelo Porcelli south of Italy
