Jim:

Most of my SA bulbs spend summers in the good old fashioned cool basement.  No water and probably a constant temp of 65-70 F.

Last year I posted pics of what I had as Nerine filifolia but obviously wasn't because of the width of the foliage.
A friend gave me some of hers which look correct and they have come into flower now,
cheers

A self sown Lachenalia mutabilis in a pot of Dracunculus canariensis. Much bigger than the plants in the small original Lachenalia mutabilis pot.

Lachenalia carnosa

K-D could be the Lachenalia like the fungi that come along with the Dracunculus.

Here's Veltheimia bracteata in full color.

ArnoldT: Nice, color of the Veltheimia.

Maybe the reason for the size of Lachenalia mutabilis is the fungi and perhaps more water, fertilizer and the bigger pot.

I encountered three common Amaryllidaceae on a short walk recently - early signs of the approaching bulb season: Boophone disticha; Crossyne guttata (makes me think of Fermi!) and Heamanthus sanguineus.

Thanks, John,
I can't take any credit for them, though as I only got them last year from a friend who had potted them up for me. I hope that they continue to prosper in my care.

I hope that's in a good way, Rogan! ;D

I grew this gladdie from seed from the red form of G. papilio but it appears that it is hybridized :(
It'll make a nice addition to the border but I wonder how to get the true form?????
We saw it at Lanarch Castle in NZ a few summers ago after the last NZAGS Study Weekend,
cheers
