Here in San Jose, we are quite successful with many of these bulbs. Not all
are from South Africa.  Cypella is new world, Galtonia needs summer water,
Herbertia is new world and needs summer water. Moraea does well, and
Solenomelus does well.  The rest can be researched on the wiki by using the
search box at the top of this page.

Off to make dinner.

Subject: [pbs] planting seeds

 Hello everyone,
I have been growing south African bulbs for a few years and now I am trying
to 
grow seeds. I have the following seeds coming to me soon:
 Cypella
Galtonia
Herbertia
Hesperxiphium
Moraea
Rhodophiala
Solenomelus
Panctatium
Calochortus

My understanding is that these would be planted in the fall (winter 
growing-summer dormant) If I get them now should I keep them inside in the
bags 
they come in or put them in my  soil mix in a pot but keep them dry?
thanks
