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.
