Don't know about the name change, but in the latest newsletter of the Pacific Bulb Society <http://www.ibiblio.org/pbs/>, there is an article about a visit the author and the president of PBS made to a guy out in Orange County or northern San Diego County (I very vaguely recall), who specializes in growing acres of these for the cut flower market. He also recently started selling the bulbs themselves via Rogers Gardens <http://www.rogersgardens.com/> a famous nursery in coastal Orange County. Burkards Nursery in Pasadena also carry bulbs of it in early autumn (I got one of mine there). I also got a couple a few years ago at the main fall plant sale at the L.A. Arboretum (which I just learned is now supposed to be called the L.A. County Botanic Gardens).

John, Joe and others who responded to my question about urginea... the San Marcos growers site says that the genera name was changed to Drimia. How do I confirm new names? Who is the authority?


Thanks
