Cyrtanthus's seeds

It's really easy to get seeds of a number of Cyrtanthus species from 
sellers in South Africa, like Silverhill Seeds for example. Most of 
them germinate fairly easily IMO. I have more trouble in subsequent 
years getting them to stay alive until the bulb reaches maturity. 
That's where I haven't perfected the technique of Cyrtanthus growing 
like others have done yet.

You can buy them on the Internet (or by email) from most of them. For a 
fantastic resource with website URLs and email addresses of most of the 
good mail order specialty nurseries in South Africa (and pretty much 
everywhere else in the world) go to Jim Shields's Bulb, Plant, and Seed 
Sources webpage at <http://www.shieldsgardens.com/BulbSources.html> .
And if anyone knows of corrections or additions to what Jim has there, 
he is more than happy to include them if you send him an email giving 
him the information.
