Dear Michael and Paul, It sounds fabulous that you've amassed such a collection. I am normally a species purist but adore Nerine sarniensis hybrids. I hope you'll be inclined to grace the wiki with pictures of this season's blooms! I wish you the best of luck in your noble quest to get proper names for the hybrids, which I imagine may be challenging.
