My Nerine bowdenii is about to bloom, the spike appeared 10 days ago. We have a difference of 9 to 10 degrees these days. Around 20-21 C. days and minimum 9 C. at nights. Here is Polyxena ( Lachenalia) ensifolia, first time blooming. http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb341/… http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb341/… Antigoni Gythio Greece ________________________________ Απο: Randall P.

Usually only about a 10 to 20 degree difference between our highs and lows, but our daytime highs have fluctuated from the upper sixties to 90 F over the past two months, both ends of the extreme sometimes occurring in the same week.
