Kenton, LOL on the addition of "and learn to knit". I want your first scarf! I know what you mean about the desire to hybridize. I am truly fascinated by plant genetics, and have gotten pretty obsessive about aquiring parents of various hybrid groups in lilies. It does'nt sound overly complicated to me from what I've read. I have to be careful not to get over-abitious and set myself up for failure. I'm bad enough for having several projects going at once, lol.

Have any of you moved callas during pre-bloom growth before? I have this clump of Z.aethiopica that were among that 10cents a bag bulb haul I made from Lowes last year. I stored the already somewhat dry looking bulbs in open, plastic bags of peat and planted them in April. Many were so dry and shrunken, I only expected maybe half of them to show. Well, here they are now, and I think all of them survived. I'd like to spread them out some if it would'nt set them back. Any thoughts?
