I had a gopher in the bed where I have them a few years ago, and it ate all the lily bulbs but didn't bother the Eucomis. Then one of my Malamutes caught it -- before my eyes! -- and ate it up. While I cheered. Chiltern's new seed catalog also lists Eucomis hybrids and mentions that the seed comes from a large specialist collection, I assume in England. I think I'll order some -- I'd like to get more of the good-looking leaf forms. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon
