Sarah and Gordon, Another area to think about is the eastern Cape, especially between Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth. Much of that area gets rain throughout the year, so the bulbs from it will be less likely to rot in the summer. The trick is that temps there are pretty mild, so you'll be best off with bulbs that grow in upland areas where it gets frosty. I haven't spent much time trying to figure out that climate because I have trouble growing plants from there, so I can't make specific recommendations. But there's a South African wildflower guide called Eastern Cape, by John Manning. It has a large section of bulb illustrations. There are only a few Moraeas, but lots of beautiful species Glads, and a wide selection of Amaryllids. You might want to check it out. Good luck! Mike San Jose, CA
