Very nice plants John ;) Where do you grow them ?
-
Really lovey 8) I like the white one in the last picture. How tall is it ? and are you keeping them in a greenhouse.
Angie :)

Very nice indeed John. It would be good to have the names added if you have the time please.
-
Beautiful flowers John. I like the deep res best. What I'm aiming for in my little forms but not having much joy so far. The best colours are not setting seed.

Angie / fleurbleu - They are in a frost free greenhouse with a minimum of 3-4c. These sarniensis hybrids will not stand a forst or let alone a freeze.
The white is about 25 cm tall.
David - All have codes for names as none are named. The codes relate back to Sir Peter Smithers breeding records and the crosses are extremely complex with a multiude of bracketing.

Thanks John for that information.
I have a couple in my greenhouse, One just away to open well that's if we get any sun. The last few days it's been cloudy, today we got a couple of hours of sun so I had a look in the greenhouse but still no flower yet.
I only purchased a couple to see if I could get them to flower. But I can see them being addictive.

Thanks for that John.

Thanks for your answer John :) I only grow N. bowdenii and bowdenii Stephanie in my garden, hardy here, but these ones are really tempting... :D

Wednesday night close to 11pm we had torrential rains for almost an hour followed by close to 20c here with humidity in the 90% range, 23c in the mid-Valley where I was. Today Nerine bowdenii finally opened.
Today's noteworthy event - spied a big slug hanging from a tree on a 1 meter trapeze wire of slime. Not something one would want to walk into face first.
