Good morning to all, I am not sure if this topic has been addressed, but here goes. Does anyone in the group own a copy of GLADIOLUS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA, did you find it to be comprehensive, informative and a complete guide to Southern Africa's Gladiolus. Would you purchase again?

I did not recognize it when it came up, not having seen it before. I don't think anybody grows it here in the Chicago area, except maybe at the botanic garden. Boyce?. Not the big trick will be to see if it continues. It had no mulch last year, so will do exactly the same thing this year. The Wiki confirmed my best guess as to its identity. The color, conformation and shorter anthers nail it down. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2007 10:55:31 -0500 From: Kelly Irvin <kelly@irvincentral.com> Subject: Re: [pbs] lycoris sanguinea To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Message-ID: <46B74473.2060501@irvincentral.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Adam: This is not a definitive suggestion, but a speculation. My L. sanguinea have always been in full sun. I'm not so sure this is good. They are much shallower rooted than other Lycoris, having very small foliage, and the flower shows "burn" damage by noon of the first day it is open. If I had my way about it, I would give it 60% shade all the time, or deciduous shade that was fully shaded by 10 AM during the summer. I mulch mine here in zone 6. Mr. Kelly M.
