I've posted this inquiry a couple other places -- SRGC Forum and the I.B.S. Members list -- and got a couple responses. I'd like to ask this group as well: do you grow any Haemanthus in the ground where you garden? Which species? How cold/wet does it get at your place? My previous results are summarized in my blog at: http://shieldsgardens.com/Blogs/Garden/… Regards, Jim S. ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 P.O.
