Sinningia cardinalis 3. Sinningia "Peridots Sand Pebbles" "The cardinalis were approaching their natural dormancy. They should be only lightly watered until growth resumes, which could take a couple months. The "Peridots Sand Pebbles" were in rampant growth & will probably grow vigorously immediately once repotted. To my knowledge this hybrid never goes dormant (probably inherited from its Sinningia bullata ancestry). They are all bloom-sized & range from 2 to 6 years old. I STRONGLY recommend wide shallow pots for these. I had some planted in narrow deep pots and struggled tremendously extricating them this weekend. The small pots caused their shapes to be malformed, too. I think they'll approach normal shape again in a few years in good conditions." From Mary Sue Ittner: Bulbs: 4. Babiana sp. - low growing, purple flowers 5. Calochortus vestae 6. Geissorhiza sp. (probably inaequalis) 7. Spiloxene capensis 8. Watsonia humilis Seeds: 9. Gloriosa modesta (Littonia modesta) 10. Nerine platypetala 11. Sandersonia aurantiaca Thank you, Dennis and Mary Sue !!
