It is a native here in Victoria, BC, but in all cases I can remember it is in sites that go bone dry in summer, growing in a usually a not-too-thick layer of moss, debris, and soil on a rock outcrop. In winter, those sites are wet but very well drained so the water isn't stagnant. My impression is that it is a tricky plant unless you are in the "right" climate. Potted specimens are likely even trickier than those in the ground. -- Rodger Whitlock _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
