I'll bet creating that new little ecosystem has had all kinds of other unexpected rewards, too.<br /><br />Here in New Mexico (SW USA) a lot of plant nurseries are now carrying South African plants because they do well in our arid climate. These lilies would probably need too much winter moisture for us, alas.
