Dear All, Before we leave this topic I am reasking a question no one answered. I know my messages are too long and some of what I say gets lost. Last year Tom Glavich gave some seed to the BX that I got. It shows no sign of going dormant. Should I just keep it going and maybe pot it up to a bigger pot or should I stop watering it? I've had other Albucas from seed keep going and wonder what others do. One I keep watering and once it went dormant two years later it has remained dormant (but I'm still hopeful.) Here is what Tom said about this BX offering. As I reread his message I realized I started this in fall and he in spring so I guess I should keep it going and let it go dormant this winter. We haven't discussed this one so I am repeating what he said in August last year: The albuca circinata is seed from plants originally from Silverhill (2000 catalog). These are wonderful albucas, The leaves are about 8 inches long, straight and narrow, and then make a single 1/2 loop at the end. Typical albuca flowers, white and green. I grow it for the leaves. I found it necessary to hand pollinate the flowers to get seed. What ever does it in South Africa doesn't come to my back yard. Two years from seed to flower, seed planted in April 2000. They also offset, but not much so far. The plants are young, and like all albucas do better in bigger pots than you might expect. My flowering plants were in 5 x 5 round pots. I haven't tried these in the ground yet, but I'm sure they would do fine. Mary Sue
