not sure why this did not go through the first time ... but perhaps a second attempt will work ... From: Ken <kjblack@pacbell.net> Subject: What's not blooming now - 08/07/11 To: pbs@lists.ibliblio.org Date: Sunday, August 7, 2011, 8:05 AM Not blooming now, but I am a bit excited by the Summer growth and foliage of some of my not-quite 4-year old Boophone disticha 'juveniles' ... and thought I would share: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amarguy/6016616036/ In the future, I will attempt to plant the bulb's distichous foliage growth in parallel, as this clump of 8 bulbs loses some of the impact and looks kinda jumbled: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amarguy/6016615026/ In this grouping, only the one largest bulb, which I purchased as a seedling 4 or 5 years ago, has bloomed for me. The rest are my own seed-grown bulbs and I am hoping for bloom next year. I have gotten other B.disticha to bloom at 4 years. Ken Blackford San Diego, CA zone 10 ... possibly 11
