I checked Graham Duncan's Growing Nerines book (2002). He notes that Nerine flexuosa is a tall, winter growing form that occurs from Somerset East to the north east of Grahamstown. He recommends that it be considered a winter growing form of N. undulata. It has also been considered a form of N. humilis. Apparently, N. flexuosa 'Alba' isn't a hybrid, just a white form of N. undulata. Eugene (I have more books than friends) Zielinski Augusta, GA USA > [Original Message] > From: J.E.
