Nerine notes
John Grimshaw (Thu, 04 Nov 2010 00:31:21 PDT)
I wrote a series of posts on Nerine on my blog last week, which members
might find interesting.
Matt Mattus's beautiful pictures of cut stems remind me that at the Nerine &
Amaryllid Society meeting last Saturday the subject of virus - often a
problem in Nerine - was raised. It was suggested that a principle method of
transmission was through cutting the flowers and passing it on in the sap
from plant to plant, so it may be wise to clean the knife with spirit
between each plant while cutting stems.

Well, as long as we are all chatting about Nerine, I might as well share
my
images on my Flickr page from last week.
