I have tried this species a number of times over 40 or so years & only in my most recent attempt have I had it flower here in Melbourne, Australia. I was advised to give it plenty of lime over the growing season (a generous handful for a 200mm diameter pot) & keep it bone dry over winter. Also, they like to be kept quite congested. About 2 years after planting out my new purchase & following the above advice, I was rewarded with a single flower spike! That was about 3 years ago & unfortunately the last time it flowered for me, although I have probably neglected it somewhat since achieving this milestone. I need to reinvigorate the pot to see if I can replicate the feat! _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
