Cyrtanthus spiralis

[William Ross]

Sleepy-eyed, not thinking about the [currency] conversion, I pulled a late-night bid and won a Cyrtanthus spiralis off ebay. I've made purchases from the vendor who sold it to me so I'm absolutely not concerned about being ripped off though, I payed an embarrassing amount for it -- An unbelievably embarrassing amount.

From what I've read, these can be very difficult. ??

Any advice would be most welcomed. Also, assuming this blooms, will anyone want or share pollen?

I'm growing Cyrtanthus spiralis and it seems to be easy. I'm not doing anything special besides keeping them on the dry side. The relish a sandy soil and grow from late fall to early spring, shutting down in the summer heat.
