Thanks

The pots are the heaviest plastic I could find, but my supplier, A.M. Leonard Co. < www.amleo.com (http://www.amleo.com) >, seems to have dropped them -- cheap always supplants quality. This plant is in a 1- or 2-gal. size. They are marked only with the size, in cm., i.e., diam 18, H 18 for the 1-gal size. One size, the "5-gal." size, is also marked "Made in Italy." These I can reuse mutliple times of the years. All other plastic pots I've bought have been use-once-and-throw-away.

Today, Ammocharis nerinoides is blooming.

Crinum moorei f. album is doing exceptionally well this year, as is its progeny from seed sown last autumn.

My Crinum moorei have petered out. We left their pots sitting out in full sun last year, and they really did not like that. Besides, bulbs get old and these came a long time ago as offsets, so there may be some build-up of viruses at work as well. Yours look very nice.

Ammocharis tineana RM37

Crinum razafindratsiraea is blooming. I never get seeds from this species, so I probably have only one clone.

This grew from seeds donated to the IBS SX by Dave Lehmiller.
