Tatsuo

Thanks,

My L. reflexa looks to be from another planet.

You light levels must be great.

I'll post you an image when it comes up a bit more.

As you can tell, no doubt, by my silence, nothing much is flowering in these parts at the moment but, I did chance upon a small group of Haemanthus aff sanguineus flowering bravely in the heat of summer (35'C today, 41'C slated for tomorrow!).

just spent a very cold hour in one of the tunnels cleaning all the dead stuff of the top of the pots of rhodohypoxis - looks like most of them have survived winter so far
