Jane you are talking about the Haemanthus barkerae? Not from seed. A seedling bulb from Dylan I believe. I got in November of 2014. I got a new greenhouse in 2017 and it helped immensely with the winter growers.

Hello fellow bulbophiles, I?ve been growing Crinum macowanii for the last several years and every years it?s lush with two flowering stalks. It has not come out of dormancy this year which perplexes me. The bulb is very much alive. We had a cooler May and June but both July and August have been warm. Similarity my Brunsvigia grandiflora came out of dormancy only about 2 weeks ago while B. radulosa looks super. Does anyone have any explanation for this? I?m dumbfounded! Erika, Toronto, Ontario

Hi Erica,

*waves to Erica from the other side of the big lake*

Our Spring was the same as yours. Some of my Crinum and Brunsvigia remained
dormant, same as yours. In late June/early July, I was able to break the
dormancy of the Crinums, and some of the Brunsvigia by filling the pot to
the top with water (the inch or two at the top of the soil). If it drains
completely in less than five minutes, refill it (once).

Not sure why that worked, but all the Crinums I did it to sprouted within
three days. A few of the Brunsvigia did the same, others are still dormant.
This late in the year, I'd just let your C. macowanii remain dormant. It
will not be harmed by the extended dormancy (or so I've read).

My Cyrtanthus sanguineus is preparing to bloom, in maybe a week. That's
about a month behind last year's schedule.

About Crinum macowanii
Dear Erika,
Me too, I have been growing it in pots for many years in southern Catalunya. It blooms easily, 2 , 3 stems and give
lots of big seeds.
The only thing I do , it is to let it dry totally in winter outside in a dry spot and then to bring it back in a sunny place and water it till next winter!
Regards
Guy
