Leucojum

Dear All,

My Leucojums are blooming too. L. roseum I saw yesterday had spikes. L.
autmnale has been blooming for awhile. Interestingly the Leucojum autumnale
I put in the ground died out just like John's from a whole different
climate, but mine in pots are doing very well. Mine never quite lose all
their leaves, just most of them but that may be because I never have
stopped watering them completely either since I thought perhaps they needed
water since they were still green. Definitely they don't get much water in
summer however and for two years now L. autumnale has started blooming in
July. Next year maybe I'll try withholding water completely now that I have
learned that they can survive that. I thought perhaps they had perennial roots.
