I'll have to get off the Hippeastrum's back then, until 'late winter to early spring', August/September. The temps then will be about 35 to 40C (95 to 104F) during the day. Nights, possibly an odd 17C (63F) but mostly 20 to 22C (68 to 72F). That's still a bit above the 12.8C (55F) recommended by that other web site. We'll see what happens, another 7 - 8 months of building up their strength. They're going to have to produce some pretty massive flowers after that. ;O)

Took some of my Hanguana malayana out of the container/pond and put it in my swamp. It'll have a lot more room there, until the dry season.
