Hans,

   The laticoma is beautiful, why in some pictures does the inflorescence and flower head seem SO much bigger than others?  I've recently acquired a bulb of this species, just waiting on a bloom

I love this Nerine, Hans, it looks as if it is in your rock garden - how tall does it grow?

Great link Brian, I have been to this blog before so was pleased to rediscover it through your suggestion

I have the same problem with Nerine: no flowers for me yet. I have only the N. bowdeni. 2 large bulbs (flowering size) and many little.  Last year I was told not to water them during summer. I tried this. Now they have healthy leaves, and no flowers at all.
I think Fermi could have right. I repotted them every year and got down the new little bulbs. Maybe I should not...

I only have a few Nerines due to the lack of sunny spots in the garden, but these are a couple that I'm very fond of:

Nerine sarniensis

Not exactly certain which hybrid this is, but it seems hardy here in South Devon and has been treated as an 'ordinary' garden plant for the past 5 years.

Nerine flexuosa 'alba'

Lovely thing this - tough as anything and utterly reliable, flowering every late October without fail.

and with good reason Dave, lucky to be growing them in sunny South Devon
