Also - forgot to mention that Albuca fastigiata (Sentinel Peak coll.) overwintered fine in my Oswego garden last year (when winter was a joke, but there was also hardly any snow cover). I dug it up on my last visit and brought it here for re-installation. It's looking good. Ernie, I wish I had known it was worth trying A. shawii....I just brought three miserable bulbs with me, and didn't get them potted until the other day. It'll take them a year just to recuperate (when I potted them, they had tiny leaves and withered vestiges of buds already showing).
