Yesterday I was lucky and got some littonia modesta (now gloriosa modesta) tubers for free. They are offered rarely in Holland. I have not grown this species before but will treat it the same way as I do with my gloriosa's. Googling the internet I came across two interesting articles. http://alanjolliffe.blogspot.nl/2010/01/… Here Alan describes this is a genus of 7 species. My question is are there still 7 species or due to the renaming there is only one species gloriosa modesta with a couple of varieties? Alain mentioned a cultivar, Littonia modesta ‘Keitii’. Is this still grown / cultivated. Could not find any reference to a nursery growing this cultivar Alain mentioned intergeneric crossings with Sandersonia, XSantoina ‘Golden Lights’, mostly done in New Zealand. Did any of these crossings hit the market? http://plantzafrica.com/plantqrs/sanderaurant.htm/ According to this article in the mids of 1990's it was the second-most important export cut flower in New Zealand. Does it mean there exist still a lot of cultivars or is this past glory? Aad Holland
