Or was that someone else? That is an excellent combo also.<br /><br />Yes, the Drimia flowers are somewhat like Eremus, except we can grow Drimia here. <br /><br />We got a little more rain also, totaling 0.8", which is great, awesome. I think you got a lot more. "Thoroughly saturated"! How long has it been since our So Cal soil was like <i>that</i>? Here I'm going with "nicely moist".

Makes plants happy. <br /><br />I read somewhere there are two types of dorotheae, (huh? wha?) which I speculated explained why I have two bought at different times that are not really alike--the other doesn't redden up nearly so much, and has more vigor. But where I read that, I can't remember.

I love that giant squill, the flower of which reminds me a little of foxtail lilies, which I sadly can't grow here.
