Subject: [pbs] Nerine seed

I have seed of some Nerine species and hybrids (perhaps all hybrids
since they are open pollinated). One set has already sprouted as I have
waited to see what would happen with the BX. I'm not really wanting to
do my own BX like Rimmer did although I have done that in the past. I
liked the suggestion of helping someone new to this hobby. So if there
are a couple of newbies who would like to grow Nerine from seed, email
me privately at msittner@mcn.org and tell me a little about yourself and
where you live and why you'd like to grow this genus. Although the seed
is all from plants that flowered in the fall, some of them are winter
growers and flower in the beginning of new growth and others are
evergreen or summer growing.

And speaking of Nerine hybrids, I was surprised to see the attached 
flowering in my Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus pot in my greenhouse. Obviously
some Nerine seed must have found its way into the pot and since the
leaves are similar I never noticed. I've rarely seen a white Nerine in
my rescue Zinkowski nerines, but those are the ones in my greenhouse. So
no telling what color the flowers would be from some of this seed.
