Hey maddy! Yesterday was a PJ day here in Western Maine where we are going back into miserable single digits and below. I spent much of the day perusing www.clivianet.org, and http://www.shieldsgardens.com/, and found an incredible wealth of information on Clivia. Of course, there are a lot of sirens calling on these 2 sites, especially with the wind howling outside, and I need Temptation calling me like I need a pierced nose ( VBG). I thought of you, yesterday, when I turned my Monster in the Corner Clivia and found 3 fans closest to the north window sprouting flower scapes ( ducking for cover). This morning I picked the 4 softening berries from last "spring" blooming, cleaned the seed and planted 5 of 6 from self-pollination. (one was obviously not going anywhere except compost.) I tucked them gently on warm potting mix, sealed them in a plastic zip-lock, and parked them on top of the Fridge. Who knows what will come of it, but I sure didn't spend any money. It will be a long spell of cold before I see anything outside except snow and ice. Sue -- |
