Hans yes you are right. I stopped buying SA bulbs from eBay. I always look at them but I keep my pennies in my pocket.

Here is Nerine krigei, characterized by twisted leaves.  Krigei needs to be chilled down to around 40°F (4 C) in winter to trigger flowering the next summer.  Only one or two buds open at a time in the umbel.  The individual flower is about an inch to 1.5 inches across the face.

Jim, very nice plant!

My N. laticoma seems to be shooting up a scape, I need to go poke around to see how it's doing!

Angie, you must have clear which ones are winter, which are summer and which are summer evergreen. They have different requirements.

Alberto this is still where I am struggling. I read somewhere that there were only four species that were winter growers is this not the case.  I think I am in trouble again.

Yes, humilis, ridleyi, pudica and sarniensis, all dry summer dormant.

It will enormously simplify your tasks if you use one label color for summer and another for winter growers.

Thanks Alberto

I was just telling Hans J the other day that I was using coloured labels ( red for summer growers and blue for winter ) he had said that he new others have use different colour labels The way I am going I will have a pot full of labels. If I win the lottery I could simplify everything by just moving over to Southern hemisphere and growing all the plants that I love so much.
Thanks Alberto any help is appreciated.

I use orange for summer growers and green for winter growers for the only reason that these colors were the ones available in the thousands at the time. Oddly, some colors would become brittle with time even they were all the same material (vynyl).

Using more colors would become too cumbersome. We need to use those two colors as we have year round rainfall and there is always the wrong cycle in the open. We have all the plants outdoors and simply put the lid on when the plants need to be kept dry.
