Since everyone's posting about their Brunsvigias, I wanted to mention that I took some photos as my Brunsvigia marginata bloomed for the first time during the last four weeks. I posted them to the wiki here: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… (Scroll down to the B. marginata section; my pictures are at the bottom of that section.) The flower head is now just about finished. As it matured, I systematically removed every anther as it opened (to harvest the pollen) and then hand-pollinated every floret. Most of the crosses were with Amaryllis hybrids, and it's looking like at least some of them took. I also pollinated some florets with Nerine sarniensis pollen, but it's too early to tell if that worked. My other unnatural pollination exercise for the fall was that I crossed Amaryllis and B. marginata onto Haemanthus barkerae. I didn't really expect that to work since the plants are so different in size -- it's like breeding a chihuahua with a Great Dane. But to my great surprise, it's looking like some of those crosses may have worked as well. Mike San Jose, CA
