Thanks Jim. I would really love to see your collection. We travel to Indianapolis on occasion and I will be in contact when it happens. Anyone in this forum can laugh all they want - I don't mind at all. I've never purchased winter bulbs from SA so I don't have the info, and I'm not certain how to handle all of this. It's winter now in SA so do I attempt to match the temps and rain or, match the water requirements now for our season(s)? Can these really flip/lose half a year and still survive? How would you handle this? I have both summer and winter growing bulbs (with roots) in the correct sized pots with recommended soils and frankly, I'm scared to water them and worried that they will die if I don't. The summer growing Boophone has beautiful green leaves, 4-inches tall. I watered it. I have a winter growing Brunsvigia orientalis with a dark green leaf 2-inches long and I splash a bit of water on it when it's very dry. ??? Wm.
