A few notes on some of the bulbs I sent in for BX 498 (items 21 through 26): Information is based on my location, the conditions here, and my personal experience. None get any supplemental water during their dry summer dormant period. *Albuca namaquensis *- for me, this requires quite a bit of moisture to break dormancy in Autumn. *Erythronium tuolumnense *- plant vertically with the most blunt end down/most pointed end up. Here, they settle themselves in with about three inches of soil above the pointed(top) end. They can be planted less deep and they will pull themselves down to their desired depth. *Romanzoffia tracyi *- plant immediately in very well drained medium just below the surface - about ⅛ inch/0.3 cm deep. This is hardy for me here in pots with overhead protection - an overhead sheet of plastic which tempers temperature extremes. *Scilla lilio-hyacinthus - *this is what this bulb keys out to in my best efforts...except it does *not* have a lily-like bulb. I think I acquired it in a mixed bag of unlabeled bulb seed many, many years ago from England. It produces a handsome rosette of dark green, strap-shaped leaves in mid-Spring (*never* in Autumn or Winter) and blooms in late Spring. It clumps up nicely without ever becoming invasive, and is trouble-free. It never gets very tall and can become lost among other taller plants. (Vague, I know, but I'd rather give no information rather than specific but wrong information.)
