Here in Long Beach, where rain is almost a "foreign" word, I have had 3 beautiful Haemanthus coccineus blooms, about 12 Rhodophiala blooms, several other Haemanthus including barkerae, carneus, humilis, and the Hippeastrum aulicum is sending up a flower spike. The bulbs have been beautiful this year and the apple tree has given us the biggest crop ever. Doug
