Hi Alana!! Actually i get in the photog time during their sleeping times... Both Anna and Carrie have gotten good at sleeping at the same time, which is great for her! And here's proof...these two napping last night-- while I snapped shots of my bulbs, I got this one, too... Red Nymph is roughly the same size as royal velvet, which I'm fairly certain is the size of a large orange, or a small grapefruit! During the first few scapes the bulb shrunk a little but I think that once the roots were established, it got back its size and then some, despite repeated blooming. I doubt I'll ever see the same performance it had last winter because I can't manipulate it like the commercial growers do, but even with this summer scape, the flowers are quite large, full and very heavy.

Hanz-- maybe you posted this elsewhere, but would you describe in detail the potting materials that you use both for adult plants and seedlings? What geographic area are you in? I understand that the adult plants will take as much sunshine as they can get, which can sometimes be a challenge in my area. What kind of watering schedule do you adhere to? I've been using scoria for other plants that require excellent drainage, wondering if a mix including finer scoria might be desirable for these too? Overwatering of succulents is sometimes a challenge for me. Thx, --Rr

What do you think he meant by "soon"?? I don't know that they ever offer new varieties in the middle of winter so I'd say that "soon" means next season, what do you think? As far as what to expect to be new varieties, hopefully exotics, the sky is the limit!! For the past several years they had been offering some real gems. Maybe some of those will be returned to the offerings. Merengue, Santos, Rosario, Cirque de Soleil Cyberspace, Kahlua, Octopussy, Tiramisu and countless others also!! We'll just all have to have patience....☺☺
