Hans, another fine collection. Your Cyrtanthus mackenii 'cream' ex PT is my favorite. Nice to have something flowering this time of year.

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing some more of your wonderful plants in flower this year.

Hans, we have just been really lucky this winter. You might be having a cold winter but at least you know you will get a warm summer. Our summers are sometimes not worth calling summer.

Hans - What a lovely range of colours in your various Cyrtanthus.  I have to wonder how you treat these. I ask because I repotted a Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus into a 50cm pot one year ago, it grew very (too) vigorously and flowered heavily throughout the late winter and was still giving a reasonable show in late autumn. Now it is in a greenhouse, badly congested and with only a few flower stalks.  The largest bulbs are not leafing out and sit atop the soil.

Seems that what I once thought a slow and deliberate plant with liuttle increase for quite a number of years has suddenly become a thug of sorts.

I wonder if the larger bulbs are not getting senescent.  Should I toss the larger bulbs or pot them on singly? Do you have to divide and repot every year?  If so I will have to find homes for quite an excess.

johnw - +3c and rain
