My S. cinnabarinus has not bloomed again, but it remains healthy looking. To the best of my information, the seeds were "collected" by staff from the Calif. University in central Calif. I now have two seedlings from the same acquisition. However, the person who had the second seedling did not give it "acceptable" care and it was almost lost. As it was "declining," it divided. I was sent 3 divisions and done did not make it. The other 2 seem to be growing. Since our last communication, I have acquired two of the "miniature" S. multiflorus from Socotra. I do have one from an earlier gift, but the acquisition data on that one is slightly different. They are doing quite well. Well, let's keep in touch, and thanks for the information. Doug
