I also received a package. I'm so happy to have almost everything that I ordered. Thank you. I wished to donate bulbs of Veltheimia bracteata, that I have been growing from the seeds, imported from South Africa, but I postponed until I can see a flower. This is the sixth year, but no flower so far. Zantedeschia odorata was also started from the seeds , imported from South Africa at the same time. They showed fresh leaves from the ground this month. It is about 6 years now. No flower yet. Yesterday I saw a few flower buds of Veltheimia bracteata. Very exciting. Many plants did not make it except for Veltheimia and fragrant Colla lily plants. Many Hippeastrum (cross of Papilio) are growing very well. Bronze color Habranthus bloomed first time this summer, and I collected and planted seeds. I need to check the name, variety. I hope I can donate some seeds and bulbs next year.
