Remember you told me to log my plants , well I looked up the name you gave me but I didn't have anything under Zephyranthes but under Habranthus I have this Habranthus tubispathus S/American. I hadn't written down who I got it from.
Thanks Hans.

Angie :)

It regularly appears in seed exchanges under all sorts of interest names... unfortunately. Usually under names of things that look absolutely nothing like it. ::)

You can say that again...and again...and again. Reason to avoid all Rhodophiala seed offered.

I must have been given bulbs as I would never have managed it from seed, I am hopeless. Hey wait a minute ( just thinking to myself ) I have tiny bulbs that I have grown from seed that I got from Hans J, so I am not that hopeless ;) :) :) :) :)
