Ms. Chapman, As I just sent Massonia to Mr. Keller on Friday, I can only hope my experience with him is not the same as yours! I write to say that Greg Petit (http://www.africanbulbs.co.za/) has mature-sized H. deformis available for a very reasonable price. The last time I ordered I got 3 for $50 - all of which bloomed the following season. I'll wish us both good luck with Mr. Keller... -|<ipp > Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 15:31:10 -0700 > From: rarebulbs@suddenlink.net > To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > Subject: Re: [pbs] Haemathus D. and Haemanthus crispus > > I contacted this individual and told him I wanted to buy five mature H. > deformis bulbs at $35 each.
