I have growing Canarina from seed some years ago in The Netherlands (not far from the coast).They flowered after two or three years. Unfortunately, despite having two different plants they dont flower at precise the same time so no seed yet. I must try harder. This year they started growing in late summer, both the plant I kept fully dry in the greenhouse (up to 40 C)as the plant I kept outside and receiving summer rains. In late autumn /winter/spring I keep them in an unheated room (low temp about 10C, so frost free)They are now just past flowering.When they start wilting I dont give any water anymore. By the way, they might come from cuttings. A young stem broke away from the tuber (not really a cutting ss) and grew away happily after planting in my greenhouse (winter temp minimum 5C) so my receipy: keep them dry in summer and frost free in winter Ben Zonneveld 2018-01-24 13:00 GMT+01:00 <pbs-request@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>: > Send pbs mailing list submissions to > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > pbs-request@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > pbs-owner@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of pbs digest..." > > > List-Post:<mailto:pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > List-Archive:<http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
