A couple of my Nerines are in bud now, but most have either just finished blooming or are about 2/3 of the way through. So I'd call it a normal but slightly extended season here. This was a very good Nerine year for me -- I'd guess that about 80% of my small collection bloomed. That's much better than my usual 40-50% rate. I have no idea what caused it, unless it was the fact that I repotted them all two years ago. Nerine buds apparently form over a two year period, so maybe they're thanking me for the fresh soil. Among other bulbs, the fall Oxalis are blooming very nicely, Strumaria truncata is in bud, and Moraea polystachya has been in bloom for a couple of weeks. Mike San Jose, CA
