Congratulations, you all have wonderfull Zephyranthes, it's amazing how they grow so well.

I have one bulb of Zephyranthes citrina for some 3 years, but it never bloomed, I don't know what is wrong with it. The leaves just grow a little and dry. I've already changed the soil some times, but it don't seem to notice that. What can I do to make it grow and flower?

Alessandro, I don't water it so often, can it be the problem? I water it once a week more or less. Maybe if I start water more and give it a more shady place? It is on the partial shade, but here there are less humidity and the leaves of some plants dry a bit on the top, as this case. I would like very much to can see it's flower one day, but it seems it is being a hardy work. :(

I was looking through my pictures a while ago and came across these, taken in early January this year. The plants are north of Durban, on the KZN coast and seem to have naturalised quite happily.

Very nice indeed Calvin. I envy your climate, I very much doubt I would get such a lovely clump here in wet and muggy Devon.
