Nerine Thoughts

I have a small collection of Nerine sarniensis hybrids, some from a  
former hybridizer here in Victoria, and some bought from Cistus in  
Oregon. ( They have about 20 named forms, but they are not in the  
currently available list. )

I do not manage mine well enough to get them all to flower each year,  
but I'm gradually improving.  Mine are in pots and need fertilizer and  
summer water.

I have quite a few Quest, a purple one, so I planted some in the  
garden next to some N. bowdenii.  No flowers as yet, so I don't know  
whether they have survived.  I should have planted them next to  
something with different leaves.

I also have about three forms of bowdenii and seedlings of several  
species.
