A cricket ball is a bit bigger than a hardball (baseball) and real men catch
it without wearing huge padded gloves :)
All the best,

For the non-Yankees that's just a bit larger than a criket ball.

Will Boophone bloom in a pot? I've had one in a pot for several years
and it has yet to bloom. I wonder if I need to find a permanent home
for it.
Yes, big ones. It takes 10 years or so from seed for B. disticha. Mine
bloom when the bulb gets to be about the size of a hardball.
