I sent you all a message intended for my nephew, who broke his thumb
skiing. I should be kept away from all keyboards, not just my flaky
Mexican one.

Anita, the "Buy Now" button on that page, after you have selected your
residency and whether or not it's a renewal, will load a Paypal
payment page.

Here in Aberdeen we are approx. zone 7 - but many Erys will be happy
with you in zone 5 -
if grown from seed they are more likely to adapt to your conditions
anyway. Have fun!

Ah, the red lily beetle...It?s a remarkably pretty beetle, but because
of it, I stopped trying to grow lilies in Massachusetts. I tried
removing beetles and larvae by hand, but it wasn?t effective, and the
nasty poisons didn?t work either. I used to have a pretty fine lily
collection. Now there are no lilies at all in the garden.

Bless the entomology department of the University of Rhode Island!
Perhaps I will be able to grow lilies again.

I was going through some old emails and came across the following advertisement:

Hi Linda,

There a hippeastrum list on Garden Web and we refer to it as CHAD -
Compulsive Hippeastrum Acquisition Disorder. It's highly virulent and there
is no known cure.

Regards,
Fred

When Ernie recently mentioned he had Walleria gracilis flowering, I
noticed we didn't have that genus on the wiki. He was kind enough to
send me information about how he grows that species and photos so I have
created a wiki page. Does anyone else grow it or one of the other
species? I found it very interesting learning about it. The
Tecophilaeaceae family has such an interesting distribution with South
American, African, and one California genus.

I grow both Walleria mackenziei and nutans just south of Lusaka, Zambia and they are fairly easy to cultivate in any well drained soil with ample moisture and fertilizer during the growing season and a dry dormancy of 6 to 9 months. There is another member of Tecophiliaceae here in Zambia, Cyanastrum johnsonii as well but at the moment I don't have any experience growing it but I hope to collect it from a friend soon. I can contribute photos of all three species for the wiki if you would like?

Cheers,

Nick
