It's near the top of the burgeoning "must have" portion of my constantly growing "wish list"! My dream would be to have enough space and enough light to have one of every hippeastrum variety, and more than one of the varieties I really like! Of course, it's only a dream... as it is, I am finding that I need to be a bit more picky in the varieties I choose as I'm running out of space to keep all of my bulbs happy! If they were all miniatures, I'd have plenty of room... but many of the hybrids are so big, and the leaves grow so tall and long, that I am having trouble finding appropriate places to keep them all! San Remo will be one I collect, though... Cindee has had such a wonderful time with hers, and it's so beautiful, that I just must have it! Plus, it appears to be extremely fertile, and that's a consideration. I almost wish some of these were ugly... it would make keeping the collection to a manageable size a lot easier! I'm at over 45 bulbs, and counting! We still have the summer Aussie order coming up, and that will net about 6 more bulbs... and I have 1 bulb on order right now... and I just got 5 bulbs recently... it's becoming more of an obsession than an addiction, or is it an obsessive addiction? I don't know... I just know I'm in deep, and I must gain some control at some point so I don't end up with so many plants that I can't care for them all properly!

Well, I just load them on my laptop. I have some 11,000 pictures and from the laptop they can easily be uploaded up here on the forum. My laptop has Window's Live Photo Gallery which for me works perfectly. Even if I take them off of my computer they still stay on the forum. Of course, I only keep on the computer the ones I would like to use or view again, the rest are deleted. In the past I used Picasa but they too have changed and are no longer user friendly. I have found that if I inadvertently moved around any of my pictures in my Picasa albums that they then disappeared from the forum, so I no longer post or actually use Picasa but a good many of my photos are still being stored there but I also have them on my computer I don't download music or movies on my computer so all of my available storage goes for my pictures and emails.

IâÂÂll keep an eye on this one next year and see if it is any different. IâÂÂll probably try to spoil it a bit as it is the sole survivor of this cross. The one above the double red (which is Benfica x Dancing Queen) is Bogota x San Remo from 2009. Here is a shot of this yearâÂÂs flower. It did rather better last year, producing a spectacular bloom

Very lovely!! I remember seeing this one when you posted it last year. After seeing yours last year, I tried the cross of Bogota x Sweet Lilian hoping that my flowers might resemble yours in some way, with the light pink, as I didn't have a San Remo to work with. Several more years to wait... Donna
