THE RARE GUERSEY LILY BLOOMS UNDER GLASS IN AUTUMN. THESE CHOICE AND HARD TO FIND RELATIVES OF THE AMARYLLIS GROWS IN MUCH THE SAME WAY, WITH HALF THE BULB OUT OF THE SOIL, AND HALF BURIED. THEY SLEEP FOR HALF THE YEAR, ONCE THE FOLIAGE DIES IN SPRING.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \nI almost gave my Nerine collection away this year ( I almost gave it aways last year too!). Why? Well, these precious bulbs which many people find challenging to grow and bloom, seem to do well for me, and not that that is any reason for me to donate or sell them, but frankly, they take up alot of room, and room is precious when one has limited space. Once they bloom, I move the, up to a higher bench and pretty much forget about them for the rest of their growing season, so it is surprising that they do so well given that I really don’t fuss over them.<\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n
