IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !! From Kathleen Sayce: 1. Seeds of Nerine angustifolia (FEW) From Rimmer de Vries: 2. Calostemma purpureum seed. these germinate quickly in the fall on the ground. i start them outside in a plunged pot and bring the pot in when it gets cold before freezing, plants keep leaves until about June - July when the leaves start to fade, mature plants send up flower stems in August and drop big fat seeds in September, some leaves may stay while flowering but new ones emerge at or after flowering 3. Ornithogalum caudatum- aka False sea onion or pregnant onion. (Albuca bracteata?) offsets and bulbils. these bulblets will form a 2-3” dia surface mounted bulbs in a year or 2 and send up a 24 inch flower stalk of small whitish flowers in winter. keep moist while in growth, never full dormant but less water in summer.
