Thanks! I get containers from a lot of places: Baker Nursery (great for colorful glazed Talavera pots), Berridge Nursery, Lowes Hardware, Home Depot, Shady Way Nursery (out in AJ but great plants and a nice selection of unusual pots), just about anywhere really. I try to stick to terracotta and talavera or red glazed pots, just to try to keep things from being too scattered colorwise (for the pots anyway, anything goes when it comes to plants!). Thanks for looking/commenting! Happy gardening (and pot shopping!), Grant. Here is a link that might be useful: Pics, so far, from my garden April 2012

Yeah, I agree that I could never capture the true red on my blooms, regardless of whether it's Red lion, Royal velvet, or anything... But sure, this one will be spectacular once all the blooms on the scape opens. It looks like I will have 4 blooms together and 2 others a little bit later on. Deepak, it did give one scape a little while ago, this is the second one. I don't see any emerging next, though I do want to...hehehe. Xuan

Dear Josh Unlike other hippeastrum, Hippeastrum reticulatum var. straitifolium bears only few seeds per pod. I have many Hippeastrum reticulatum bulblets and reticulatum F1 hybrid for sharing or exchange, send me an email if anyone is interested. Best regards, Henry henry.koitsi@gmail.com

Hi, Josh. Thanks for your wonderful description! And it's fragrant, too... Looks like that's another for my wish list. :) I'm really going to have to figure out where to put all the ones I want to get...and I can see now that I'm just getting started! It sure is fun having all of you to recommend fragrant hippies to add to my collection :) Michelle
