--- Mark; I think we had an extensive discussion back in the IBS days of what triggers flower initiation. I think that Sir Smithers commented on how his first experience with a flowering bulb was a colchicum that his mother gave him as he went off to school, only to see it flower on the shelf of his boarding school room.
