I am in MA too - do you know where I might be able to get some - perhaps
through a trade?

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

I also posted some on my blog Growing with plants.com, where there are more.
I planted some N. sarniensis ten years ago along the foundation of the
greenhouse in the alpine garden, and although they send up foliage every
autumn, never a bloom. I may have planted them too deeply ( I think I buried
them about a foot deep).

I tried photographing all of my collection this year, since most bloomed, so
that I could have an image with the name tag, and the blossom, but they are
so challenging to photograph. I spent three days shooting each stem with a
label, but they looked nothing like the real, live, blossom.

I finally decided to just pick them all, and arrange them on a board in the
garden, arranged in floral foam by color. I figured that a nice photoshoot
was worth a few seeds!
