The Cyrtanthus Venus is flowering! I am really pleased as it has been a learning curve as to growing conditions. Bought it 2 years ago. Last spring when it developed a scape, the scape just melted away after a bit. So have kept it really dry all winter with obvious success. I think it was Peter who said it is a Cyrtanthus Venus. It doesn't go dormant, but I suspect our humid climate is not the best for it. If it is a Cyrtanthus Venus, it was bred by Hadeco in South Africa. But they are not answering a request for growing conditions. Strangely enough the parent plant was in a shady position and really in wet soil, yet it was flowering. http://flickr.com/photos/49263888@N06/… Ina Auckland New Zealand
