Hi Michael:
Androcymbium latifolium/pulchrum comes from the semiarid parts of South Africa. When one species skips a season almost always the reason is lack of proper baking during dormancy. Are you growing them too cool? A. latifolium is partial to very gritty, well drained soil.
Leucocoryne seed sprouts readily if fresh, in early autumn, not long after sowing. All species need very well drained soils and do best in low humidity climates (this is so with most Central/Northern Chilean species). Seedlings bulbs need deeper planting every year. It is typical that offset bulbs are found much deeper than mother plants.They move deeper and more sideways from mother plants. If the seed you order is maintained under Seed Bank conditions make sure to reserve them and have them delivered just at sowing time. Otherwise all the time the seed is out of the Bank gets older and older until it can no longer be viable.
Osmani Baullosa seed was superb, sadly he is no longer in business.
Regards
