Dear Angelo, Zantedeschia aethiopica in spite of its name is one of the two winter rainfall species. We saw it blooming a lot in the winter on our trips to South Africa so it is not turned around for you, but growing as it normally does. It has naturalized in Northern California, especially in spots that stay wet for a long time. Freesia alba has a wide distribution including winter rainfall areas and year round rainfall areas so it isn't on an opposite cycle necessarily either. The Boophone is an interesting one because some varieties of it grow in winter and some in summer. What I am wondering is if I can make the one I have that came from Rhoda in the Southern Hemisphere that was a summer growing one become a winter growing one. As we continue to have really warm temperatures here, it wouldn't recognize that it is fall. The Haemanthus montanus I got from Rhoda did not start to leaf out until this week even though I watered it when I planted it when I got it early summer and occasionally there after. Now I think that was very considerate of it as it seems to be emerging when it should, having experienced a longer than usual dormancy. Has anyone gotten Leucocoryne from Brent and Becky and gotten it to stay summer growers? I have wondered if they like so many other things sold at the wrong time of the year would revert to a winter growing schedule. Or would it be one of those that you could dry out and store warm until you wanted to plant them? So Lisa Flaum, are you going to tell us what you have succeeded growing as summer growers that normally are winter growers? Mary Sue
