Why afraid of haemanthus if I may ask. I've on really had problems with katherine. It likes very very well drained soil! I've lost many katherines do to this problem. They go dormant in the winter. And it seems they like to be dug up and set a top the soil. Then replanted when warmer weather comes. But the big leaf haemanthus I've never lost a one!

Have two mature bulbs left of haemanthis deformis. Hang in there, Warren. I'll be sending in *lots* of massonia seeds and bulbs to the BX later this year, probably around July. There was excellent seed set on the plants this year, and a number of seedlings are large enough to share. No real need for haemanthus here, I'm afraid.... --Roy
