No worries Amy, I totally understand about not "keeping up"--I've been such a working girl lately that I haven't been able to keep up with the bloggers I follow who write longer posts. Really too
bad, I enjoy them. Your posts are different--beautiful refreshing photos, great for my tired brain ;-) Speaking of which, beautiful Rhodophiala!
Kris - Yes, some of the best reviews I saw came from Texas ;-) I ordered my bulbs from California though, from Bill the Bulb Baron, who is up in Santa Cruz, I think. Being small, they're not as showy
as their larger relatives, but they seem like a good choice for dry gardening. Here's hoping, anyway...!
Hollis - Thank you so much for the kind comment! Blog following is a time-consuming and data-consuming pleasure. It seems when I have either one, I'm lacking the other... But I love being able to
follow along on your plant and rock adventures :)
Cathy - I think it's interesting to compare the two. The Rhodophiala are much smaller, somewhat daintier, and unmistakably a basic species plant, rather than a garden hybrid. One can definitely see
the family resemblance all the same! Thanks so much :)

They're so pretty! I've admired them on the Texas blogs too. I've never seen them here.

Quite beautiful. More delicate than the Amaryllis we get here for our Christmas bouquets.
