Very nice Hans wish I could grow Nerines but I've failed abysmally each time I've tried.

Hans had a look for my Nerines this morning. Now this is where I am confused, nothing unusual there  ::)
Mine were under my bench, I think mine are all winter growing.
This is what I have.
Nerine sarniensis, N.humiliis bredardrop. N.laticoma
Any help appreciated.

Angie :

N.sarniensis + humilis are wintergrower....
N.laticoma is summer growing ....this plant should have leaves in this time

Have you bought your plants from southern hemishere or from northern hemishere ?

I can really suggest all growers of South African bulbs the new book from Graham Duncan !!!
The titel is "Grow Bulbs" it is from the Kirstenbosch series .
There are good cultural advices for all kind of bulbs ,corms ,tubers from South Africa :
treat as wintergrowers,summergrowers,evergreen and more
Please look here :

Hans I am ashamed to say that I bought that book a few months ago and just had a quick look at all the lovely pictures.
I even forgot I had it. I bought my bulbs of eBay.
Hans I have left my book on my kitchen table and will give it a good read and try and have a better system with my bulbs.
Thanks Hans for taking the time to help me, much appreciated.
If anybody is thinking of buying this book I can say its really worthwhile, some books I have bought before just scared me but this is first class and the text is big enough that if I can't find my glasses I can still read it, a bonus.

Angie :)
ps aren't there some lovely flowers in the book Hans.

Angie ,

you should put this book in your greenhouse !!!

I have before month bought a other book : The Color Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs
( Manning ,Goldblatt ,Snijman )
There are also wonderful pictures ...but more or less not any cultural advices -so this book from Graham Duncan helps really a lot more !

Yes ...there a lot of wonderful pictures ...making appetit for more plants !
