Test - and cultivation tips

Dear Luc,

Lilium wallichianum hails from the Sikkim Himalayas and is admired for it
fragrance. It grows on open grasssy slopes in the subtropical zone and has
to be cultivated in well drained medium with pea shingles, some sand and
garden soil. We grow them in the open here at elevation of 500-800m. Summer
temperatures could go upto 32 C with plenty of rain from end June-early
September.

Hope this information written hurriedly helps.

Regards.

Udai

Dear all,

I am sending this message again since it seems that it did not get
through...

I received this morning several new bulbs. Among them two species are
completely knew to me and I would appreciate advice on the cultivation of
those plants.

One is Lilium wallichianum and the other Haemanthus pauculifolius.

I am thinking of outdoor cultivation (Zone 8b). I have many open
possibilities in terms of protection, shade, sun, drainage, etc...

Waiting for your advice... thanks in advance.

Luc
