Sternbergia lutea is putting on a sparse show now. The trees have grown so much since I first planted the Sternbergia that they are suffering from too much shade. I'll have to move them to sunnier spots. The Colchicum are in full bloom, but the Colchicum speciosum have only produces a half-dozen blooms this year. They at least are in full sun, so maybe I need to feed them. Brunsvigia litoralis is blooming in the greenhouse. Both of my two plants are in bloom, so I'll try to make some seeds to share with the BX. This is the only Brunsvigia that has made it all the way from seed to flowering for me. Every other species I started from seed ended up dead after several years. I started these seeds in 1999, and the first bloomed last year, so it took 11 years. My Haemanthus 'Burgundy' hybrids are in bloom in the same greenhouse. The bracts are a nice burgundy color like I've seen in no other Haemanthus. The cross is [humilis hirsutus x coccineus].
