Mary Sue, thanks for Alberto's comments. I guess I will put my dormant pots where they will get a dab of water every now and then. Your description of the dialystemon just makes my mouth water. I can't wait till next year's bloom. I got some from the BX here and also from Bill himself when he was here. How long did it take for you to get them turned around? And what were your techniques? I just planted mine and they are moist at the moment. I will be taking them out to the garden today and let them fend for themselves I think. Maybe I'll wait for a few opinions. Could you also send me the link for the Australian Bulb list? I feel that I am missing a lot when I read you posts from there and I want to join now.
