Just a comment on this plant. Here in the UK I find this almost indestructable. I have several pots from originally just 1 many year ago. A pot of a large single bulb was taken indoors from a frost free greenhouse while in flower ~2 years ago, but eventually left on the ground outside the back door and forgotten about. It suffered several frosts to kill all the foliage last winter and been baked dry for months but is now yet again showing clean bright foliage, with 4 additional side growths. Potting on and feeding time I think.

I also received a package. I'm so happy to have almost everything that I
ordered. Thank you.
I wished to donate bulbs of Veltheimia bracteata, that I have been growing
from the seeds, imported from South Africa, but I postponed until I can see
a flower. This is the sixth year, but no flower so far. Zantedeschia
odorata was also started from the seeds , imported from South Africa at the
same time. They showed fresh leaves from the ground this month. It is
about 6 years now. No flower yet.
Yesterday I saw a few flower buds of Veltheimia bracteata. Very exciting.
Many plants did not make it except for Veltheimia and fragrant Colla lily
plants. Many Hippeastrum (cross of Papilio) are growing very well. Bronze
color Habranthus bloomed first time this summer, and I collected and
planted seeds. I need to check the name, variety.
I hope I can donate some seeds and bulbs next year.
