I realize that your posting is old (August 5), but I have a surplus of lily of the nile to trade. These are starts/bulbs/plantlets, 10 per trade. these are original African Lily like those that grow along the River Nile, not the newer hybrids. Blooms are mixed shade of blue and some white, but none are marked. If you are interested, I am able to trade this week. Thanks, MaryAnn

Are you sure it is Doryanthes palmeri, it is more likely to be Doryanthes excelsa as that is the the more commonly cultivated plant on the east coast of Australia. No matter which it is as they are both sought after and expensive plants even where they grow naturally. This is rough tranlation from encyclopedia of Australian plants ( Elliot & Jones ) Doranthes are popular in cultivation, D. excelsia being introduced to England during the 1800s. my personal experience is 4 to 5 years before they develope a flower spike. They like well drained soils with some organic matter and respond well to light applications of fertilizer. Adaptable to partial or full sun and are highly suited to growing in large containers. They are tolerant of frosts although the flowers may be damaged. Even large clumps may be easily transplanted. Seeds germinate easily without treatment.Clumps can be divided and suckers may be removed while small and planted elsewhere. Hope this is enough information for you, and I add they are very popular as street plantings in Sydney (D excelsa) Greg
