Have you visited the
PlantZAfrica pages Calin? Lots of native plants and good information on culture there. In general Winter (cold June to August) in South Africa is the dry season and Summer is the wet season. Except for Zantedeschia aethiopica, which is native to marshlands, Calla Lilies thrive in our hot summers, if well watered. However, even in Florida winters they have a low survival rate because it's wet.
