Hi all, Does anyone know where the Cyrtanthus (elatus X montanus) gets its tendency to bloom more than once a year? Has anyone ever gotten (elatus X montanus) to produce seeds with any other parent? Are there any fertile interspecific hybrids known in Cyrtanthus? I think Hadeco were doing some work with Cyrtanthus hybrids a couple years ago; has anyone heard of any developments from that source? I have only a limited set of Cyrtanthus to play with, but have never gotten any pods from (elatus X montanus) or the others. To my US countrymen, I wish a happy and full-filling Thanksgiving Day tomorrow! Regards, Jim ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd. P.O.
