Thanks to Dr. Grimshaw for the information on the Urginea macrocentra (I misspelled it in my original posting). I also received an excellent reply from Rogan Roth, with a photo of the plant in habitat. Both provided information that will help me site the plant in my garden. This is what is so great about the PBS--I couldn't find information about this plant anywhere! I have taken a photo of my plant in case anyone is interested in seeing the foliage. Rogan's photo shows the flower stalk after the flowers are done, but it's interesting to see. Anyway, if anyone wants to see my photo, e-mail me and I'll send it to you. Maybe Rogan would be willing to share his photo also? Or, if I get it figured out, I'll try to post the photo on the wiki. Mary Gutierrez Northwest Garden News http://www.northwestgardennews.com/
