Ok.

 A member living in Louisiana has written to me looking for Habranthus pedunculosus (syn. Habranthus juncifolius) which he obtained originally from Thad Howard years ago.  He lost most of his plants in a freeze and is looking to get another to produce some seed.

Anyone with this plant willing to share seeds or bulbs  please let me know.

I think that these oils will hopefully disappear as the tragedy of oil palm cultivation become more well known.

One of the remedies is a bulb frame with a cover to exclude rain from reaching the bulbs.

Not the prettiest sight but a solution.  Lots of info on the web regarding the construction.

Here's an idea that showed up on my You tube feed.  Doesn't seem like it make enough heat for me in northern USA.

Throw out some comments or questions and see if there's interest.

One thought which was passed long to me is a high urea fertilizer.

I'll search me note and see if I can find the note.

Here's an example of color change in a Lachenalia callista.  Same plant
