Fred, Thanks for submitting the Cyrtanthus mackenii bulbs via Dell. I've read the wiki on Cyrtanthus mackenii and it says Cyrtanthus mackenii may be deciduous or evergreen. Be winter blooming or summer blooming. Like well draining soil or may be aquatic. May like shade or direct sun. hmm??? Could I have a few pointers on the environment these specific bulbs prefer? I see from a post last year that they are evergreen and you had them in an 8"clay pot. Thanks again Randy R
