Many thanks John  :)

I believe I have now found the secret with those evergreen Cyrtanthus ....I gave them all two week a little water !
I do not repot year my Cyrtanthus - only if the pot is really to small.

Good luck
Hans

John,

 mackenii, obrienii, brachscyphus, and some others enjoy being repotted every other year here in a warm zone 6 (east Tennessee). All flower in the winter for me, Dec-Feb. I find the older bulbs tend to stop flowering so much. Maybe in cultivation they are short lived. I find they flower best when given a short dry dormancy, but they grow fine in standing water also!

 Nice "Yellow Clarion" Hans ;D Mine is in flower now as well.

Beautiful Cyrts, Hans.  I'm glad the cream has done well for you and is flowering.  The most reliable flowerer of those I have here.  The 'Himalayan Pink' is a great colour.  Such a good "pink" as opposed to the peachy colours you see in some of the pics.  I'm not sure I've seen such a clean pink before.  Are you going to cross them all and see what other colours you can come up with?  I've finally identified for sure the good yellow that I have been trying to send you, but I think your 'Yellow Clarion' is at least as good, probably better than my unnamed one.

Hans,

Thanks.  Yes, starting to wander the forum a bit more now.

Good luck with seeds from the Cyrtanthus... it will be interesting to see what results you end up with in the future. 8)
