  2. wow SF botanic gardens they have got lots of plants sales going on.It is so sad plants are not allowed to our country not even by logees. I love drought tolerant plants because of our extreme warm climate. Eucomis is not common at all here. But someone told me bulbs are available here they were not bicolor though.
