Hi Matt,

I was at the Symposium, but was not a major bidder. Robert Parker, on the 
other hand, was helping out IBS quite a lot and I expect he purchased a lot 
of the Cyrtanthus, one of his favorites. So hopefully he will respond to 
your question (in text).

Did you look at Bill Dijk's pictures on the wiki? 
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
He has added a lot of Cyrtanthus hybrid pictures. Many of them are so 
striking. Lee also has a picture of a hybrid C. elatus on that page that I 
keep hoping to rename once someone agrees it is an elatus hybrid. Does 
yours look like his? He didn't say where he got it.

I was thinking it is a strange (but very satisfying) time of year to be in 
bloom, but I have two flowering stalks about to open on a Cyrtanthus 
mackenii in my greenhouse that has never bloomed this time of year before.

We have a lot of instructions on the wiki about how to use it:
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… is a good place 
to start.

But I will also send you some abbreviated instructions again so you can add 
your picture for everyone to see.

Mary Sue
