found at the grocery store!

thanks Homebird. Both of these plants are real favourites. the Montbretia would be chancy here, and the Acidanthera has to be lifted. so I decided to pot them both up and treat both as annuals.

Hi Homebird!...yes I will have to wrap the pots and put them in my basement. The Acidanthera is not ground frost tolerant.. corms left in the ground over winter turn to mush and I love them so much that I don't mind lifting them. (After the last terrible winter the frost went into the ground 3-4 ft. Our roads are like rollercoaster mazes as the frost leaves the ground! lots of bumps and potholes!) Montbretia can be left in the ground and it survived cold winters in my last garden. That garden was in a different hardiness zone...so I choose to treat them like annuals here..just to be on the safe side.

good luck with them, Lori, hope to see future progress
