Jim Waddick wanted to hear from people who actually grow and bloom Drimia maritima, the sea squill known for centuries as Scilla maritima and then Urginea maritima.I grow it (as of last fall) but it has not yet bloomed for me. So like Jim W I'm curious to hear what others have to say. The foliage began to yellow off two weeks ago and is now almost completely dry.I removed it from its pot and wrapped the root ball (massive root system) in newspaper. It's now stored on a shelf outside, exposed to the morning sun.Now begins the wait to see if and when it blooms: I'll bet it's oporanthous. Jim McKenneyMontgomery County, Maryland, USA, USDA zone 7, and where spuria irises, Dichelostemma, Allium caeruleum and lots of other odds and ends are blooming under steamy conditions. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
