Jan I think the April -May window is good. I have some early flowering South Africans that has already set seed and some that haven't flowered yet.

I understand it is usually held around April-May to allow winter blooming bulbs time to ripen their seed, in particular the southern hemisphere seed. I don’t grow many African or South American bulbs so I don’t have much experience to pull from. I love to hear from members with experience growing these bulbs when the seeds ripen so I can schedule a seed exchange at the best time. Please post your responses to to list so we can all learn from them. I’m expecting to open up for receiving seed in the next couple of weeks but in the mean time please hang on to your seed. Thank you, Jan Jeddeloh _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
