Crocosmia and another question about Schizostylus Kaffir lilies

Due to my house being rewired recently I haven't been able to keep up with my 
e mail as wellas i  would have liked.

A kind soul out there offered me some  Crocosmia" El Dorado" and "Mrs 
Morrison."

Well I would be "over the moon" if I could get them!

Please email me and I can arrange to send postage etc


I bought some Schizostylus coccinea "albua" (what a wonderful contradiction in 
terms that is) at Malvern in september and it grew quite well til the point of 
flowering when the frost hit. The flower buds are stillb there and green but I 
suppose they wont flower.

at my garden club yeaterday someone told me that they were mono carpic and 
thse bulbs would be unlikely to flower next year and that i would probably 
loose the whole clump. 

A prognosis please from a knowledgeable bod!

In a planta holic haze i also bought S pallidiflora which  looks healthy 
enough but didn't attempt to flower this year. are its prospects better.

TIA

Many Thanks
