I also am in the PNW and am interested in South African bulbs, although for outdoors, not in a greenhouse. I would love to see a list of the easier subjects to start with as it's great to proceed from the most trouble-free to the more challenging species. I do have the Cape Bulbs book by Doutt, which is some help. Gordon From: Randall P.

Had it not been for the freeze that hit the night I arrived in Seattle (and lasted a week) I likely would have lost most of my winter growing S. African bulbs from my place in California by now anyway. I've had a few that did survive the freeze, and survived last winter too, but they are not thriving. I've had better luck with the winter dormant species and am now sticking with them especially as I was not able to put up a greenhouse.
