Pontus I watched your video and found it really interesting. I have mine above the ground but not by 50%. I will take away some of the soil, it has started to grow already. The bulb shrunk a little after me having it upside down  ::)

Thank you all for your interest ...

Orpheos - you are shure right !
I have always wondering about this plant and its similary to Nerine but I have received this plant from a nice person from this forum ...and I was shure he sent me the right plant

Of course ...I'm sad no that I have not Ammocharis baumii ... :'(

Has anybody here a idea which Nerine this could be ?
I'm wondering about the hairy stem and the narrow leaves ...

Sorry for confusion  :(

Late summer - early autumn with grass- or thread-like leaves could be angustifolia or filiforia, and the hairy stems suggest filifolia.  I have both in bloom at the moment.

I have one or two Ammocharis/Crinum baumii, but have not had any blooms on the so far.

Jim ,

many thanks for giving this plant a name ...I will write a new label !
I'm thinking you are right with N.filifolia because I have a plant with this name and it looks pretty similar ( but has not flowered until today )

plant collecting brings always up new surprises !

Does anyone grow Ammocharis angolensis?  How does it differ from the other species of Ammocharis?

Maggi,

Sheer absent-mindedness.  Lets see if I now have it fixed....

Jim

After posting this, I googled it and came up with a pdf of a 2011 paper by Dee Snijman in Bothalia:

http://herbaria.plants.ox.ac.uk/bol/Content/Groups/namibia/Resources/Snijman_and_Kolberg%202011_Ammocharis.pdf

Which goes some way toward answering my second question.  I still want to find someone with seeds of A. angolensis whom I can cajole.
