Hello Ken,
They look amazing. Thank you for sharing your picture.
I wonder if mine is okay, last year it did not went completely dormant, this year it did in the mist of summer (when we have actually got over 30 C during the day).

Rimmer pointed out the error of my previous post ... the bigger bulbs are from 2007 Silverhill seed ... so 13 years old, not 3! The larger volunteer below is 3 years old from 2017 seed, the first year my larger bulbs bloomed.

Hi Ken
Do you mean that these Boophone haemanthoides grew to this large size from seed in 3 years?

Attaching a shot of some Boophone haemanthoides bulb growing in my San Diego garden. Two of the three larger bulbs (2017 seed from Silverhill) bloomed this year. One is already pushing a new set of leaves, while the smaller volunteers below (one 2017 seedling, the other from last year) never went dormant. I give them a splash of water every other week.
