One small correction to Marieke Mendes' remarks about zantedeschia species: Z. aethiopica collected from the Eastern Cape is summer-active and winter-dormant, even if kept above freezing in a cool greenhouse. I have a clump grown from seed collected near Leopard Falls in the Cathcart district (thanks, Cameron! :-) ), and it grows and blooms lustily here in summer. This year I'm leaving it in the garden to test its hardiness ( I did collect seeds from it first, and will probably retrieve a some tubers before the deep freeze sets in). Some of the Z. albomaculata from seed I collected in Lesotho overwintered quite nicely last year in the garden, and bloomed this summer. I wouldn't claim zone-5 hardiness for these things - we do have excellent snow cover - but some of them are hardier than people think.
