Thanks, Diana. I would love to see your pictures. I have a couple already, but they aren't mine or I'd have posted them. What I most crave, though, is reliable information. How tall is the plant? The Chilean information I picked up says this blooms in August-September, but yours bloom in May-June. You say it's easy to grow. Must one watch the watering regime? How much cold can it take? In addition, Arnold has sent me a paper from the American Journal of Botany that I am reading right now. Something about only 3 stamens ... as far as I got when the telephone began ringing ... More when I can! Thank you for your help!
