Ann, you may have the right conditions for them. They're usually inexpensive little bulbs, so it would be a fun experiment!


Thanks Neal. I found this:
"Sparaxis are adapted for areas where there are fall, winter and spring rains and dry, hot summers." From:

If that's true then our summers are not what sparaxis like so I would have to put them in pots only.
Still, I think I must give them a try, they are so lovely!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
