Arthur ....

I must first look in my dictionary under "drooling" ...never heard before ::)

There is no problem when I'm away ....

 ;D I have a big monster with 6 heads -it watch by day and night for my collection ;D
Paul is correct and the keyboard is a mess.

I di not mean there was a danger of someone stealing your treasures, but who does the watering - or are you able to only take holidays when they are resting?

Arthur  :D

It was only a warning  ::)

Now to your question with watering :
We have very nice neighbars which always water our plant in house and terasse ......but never I trust them to water my bulb plants and cacti ! .....it is not a problem if they stay without water for 14 days ......and look :
my Cyrtanthus spiralis did flower after this break !
Also is it not a problem if my cacti are without watering ( they get normaly water all 3 or 4 weeks )
all the other plants in borders ( peonies and more ) get never artifical rain ....

In my eyes dies always more plants from overwatering than from to few water ....and I have no plants which not like my treatment -they will not survive here....

Hans,

How big is the seedling of 'Big Dude'?  I forgot to ask yesterday when I got sidetracked by drooling.

Paul ,

to your question :

the flower stem is 14 cm height , the diameter of the flower 6,5 cm

I have send the pic to this person from which the seeds come - here is his answer :

"The coloration is about the same, 'Big Dude' has broader petals."

Hi all ,

here are now as promised some new informations to Z. 'La Buffa Rosa' :

I have asked my friend who gave me the seeds what is the correct spelling -here is his answer :

"I can't answer your question about sp. Labuffarosa  vs 'Labuffarosea', I've listed ut on the wiki under both names."

I have also asked a plantfriend from Mexico - what is the correct spelling of the name from this mts . ( La Bufa or La Buffa ) - this is his answer :

"There are lots of hills , mountains and rock formations called "Bufa" or "Bufadora", the world means the noise who make the air in the way againts a hole or a strong breathe "bufar", many places make the noise and recibe the name, do you have another geographycal reference?"

Thanks for the info Hans.  By your friend's last comments, both words he used only have a single "f" in them, which would certainly I think point to it really being labufarosa/ea, which helps sort out part of the spelling problem.  Doesn't help with the "a" or "ea" problem though.  ::)

What a beautiful Zephyranthes!

I love this flower and I became crazy when before few days I found two bulbs of Zephyranthes robustus which was forgotten by me! :o How can i be so scatterbrained..
I immediately put them in pot and They also immediately formed leaves..The plants began to grow very fast and already has few leaves.I hope to preserve them..I am happy that at least They look healthy.
This is one of the most blooming members in Amaryllidaceae and I don't want to loose It.
Here in this topic I see many lovely Zephyr lilies!

And, in my climate at least, the flowers only last a few hours each.  But they do produce a lot of flowers, and every one produces a seedpod if you let it so you always have more coming up.

Here is Habranthus robustus -I have received this plant from Brasil :
