Summer treatment of Nerine sarniensis

We've discussed this numerous times on this list. Many of us are converts
to watering this species in summer and have found that we are much more
successful in having it bloom for us. Add me to that column. It makes me
wonder what other dormant Amaryllid bulbs might need the same treatment
during dormancy. For newer members of our list who grow Nerines I'd like to
direct you to the excellent introduction to this genus provided by Hamish
Sloan that explains why this is necessary.
