Greetings, The Amaryllids are having a particularly well-coordinated blooming season this year with Boophone disticha overlapping with Brunsvigia josephinae and Haemanthus coccineus (2 taxa that often bloom together). But most exciting of all is Crossyne guttata which just started to push inflorescences from bulbs I've had for about 10 years. This is the first time I've ever had a Crossyne bloom! The Haemanthus coccineus are actually bulbs from a fraudulent bulb trader who hit the list several years ago (claiming they were Haemanthus crispus). They are a very vigorous form of the taxon and compete well with the B. josephinae they grow beside... -|<ipp -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
