This week, I was pleased to finally see flowers on a Cyrtanthus obliquus bulb that I have been growing for about four years. It has resolutely refused to offset, so I'm hoping it might prove to be self-fertile. Pictures here: https://sweetgumandpines.wordpress.com/ Other recent blooms, some in pots and some in the ground, have included Bessera elegans, Boophone disticha, Lilium catesbaei, Lilium formosanum, Lycoris spp., and Hymenocallis occidentalis. Click the "Bulbs" category on the blog if you are interested in pictures. Speaking of H. occidentalis, can anyone tell me how to treat the seed (apart from labeling them "Not lima beans, do not eat")? Should I plant immediately in the ground (zone 7), plant immediately in pots and keep in the greenhouse over winter, or store in the fridge and plant in spring? The mother plant is definitely hardy in this climate, but I'm not sure about seedlings.
