I've had a note from Betty Clarke in Ashburton, who also has what she grew from seed as Zeph. flavissima and from her description it sounds right. BUT...Betty grows it in a hot dry trough, where, she says, it has just finished a period of 3 months' flowering, so maybe the very moist conditions are not entirely necessary?

Hi Lesley:

It is possible. She seems to be doing things right, from the long (normal) flowering season.

Our plants are in a 20 litre bucket so there is no way to put a tray to hold water but instead we water daily and abundantly to mimick the conditions it enjoyed in the wild (actually, WET feet for some nine months in a frost free region).
