I selfed these flowers, and it looks as if I'm getting some seeds forming.

Nice Blanchfleur Arnold.

Jim  - Have you tried wellsii outdoors?  In 2008 Gerd K. kindly sent me seeds and in autumn 2010 2011 I planted some good-sized ones about 1 foot from the house foundation and a few in the middle of the yard.   The ones one foot from the house survived nicely even small ones,  I cannot grow regular bowdenii anywhere but against the foundation.  The ones in the middle of the yard failed to show which is no surprise but I wonder if puddling atop them might have been the cause of their presumed demise.

Roland:

I don't know anything about it.  It was part of a rescue project after a grower passed and his collection was distributed.

John,
I tried a field-hardy (in the Netherlands) clone of bowdenii from Aad Koen ca 10 years ago, out in the field here in Indiana.  After 2 winters in the ground, there were maybe 6 bulbs left out of 40 to start with.  None had bloomed.  So I did move the survivors back into pots.  They are pretty reliable bloomers for bowdenii, in pots inside in winter (now blooming) and outdoors in their pots in summer.

I could try some of these wellsii seedlings as well as some of the increase on Aad Koen's hardy lot outdoors in a protected spot (up against the foundation of a heated greenhouse).  Next year; I'm through digging in the dirt for this season!

Jim  - You might have been a bit impatient for flowers. Although props from mine flowered almost immediately in pots those outdoors took 20 years or more to start flowering. 8)

After 35 years the Lycoris radiata has yet to flower and I am impatient and have been for years..  As it grows in ditches I wonder if it should be kept wet year round.

I think Alberto gave this advice when I posted a pic of Lycoris radiata and Zephyranthes candida in flower together; however they were actually growing in a raised bed where they only get natural rainfall [summer dry]. I'm of an opinion that [at least in our garden] flowering seems to depend on how mature/established the bulbs are and if they get sufficient warmth during the summer. The two clumps we have are in completely different situations - the other is in a garden bed which gets occasional summer-watering and much more shade - and they both started flowering the same year - about 2 or 3 years after they were planted.

Fermi, the knack would be to water abundantly when they are in flower.

A mid-season white - "Mother of Pearl', by no means a spectacular one but a clean white.  This one was isolated last year as it showed signs of virus, this year the leaves look quite unstreaked.  ???

Thoroughly bizarre. Today the forum gives no indication a post has been successfully uploaded in fact one would presume it has not been uploaqded as  on two ocassions it said warning another message has been posted. Last time and blank white page came up after it presumably uploaded a post.???????????????

Probably just a hiccup caused by a brief interruption to your signal, John, which confused the system.

Hi all. A seedling of Nerine sarniensis hybrid. My friend gave me several nerine hyb. bulbs last year and this is the first bloom at my house :)
