Haemanthus Season Is Underway

Jim,
Does this mean that you have been watering them prior to now, or that
some other triggering phenomenon is at work?

In the greenhouse, some of the Haemanthus barkerae are blooming, as well
as a couple H. pubescens pubescens. There is a bud on the H. dasyphyllus
and on one of the H. coccineus. Another coccineus is in full bloom, with
very curious -- and quite attractive -- bicolor (red and white) bracts.
Pictures will eventually appear in my blog,

The Lycoris have mostly faded except for one clump of L. caldwellii.
Bloom is a bit spotty; what with the extend hot, dry weather we have
been having, perhaps not surprising.
