Greetings,

Cool summer is Berkeley continues. First, there's the expected:

Haemanthus coccineus blooming on my new bulb bed: http://www.anexaminedlife.net/bulbs/haemcocc.jpg

Second a very unexpected bloom: I got this Boophone haemanthoides from South Africa early this year. The Bay Are's mild temps let me give it a short, late "winter" and it is just now going dormant. While I was moving the bulb pot, I noticed this:

Anyone have late season Boophone haemahthoides pollen?
