I have sent dozens of bulbs to the BX over the years. It blooms in mid to late summer in full sun and manages to fill a pot every few years. It has never been a showy bloomer managing a flower here and there over a long period, never a big show. Each flower is large for the plant size and always appreciated. Never a seed produced, but all one clone. I too have grown C. elatus for years from various sources and never a bloom. Should I dry it out more drastically? Same conditions as C. sanguineus, but a larger pot proportionately. Never tried any of the named color forms. It grows well and multiplies, just no bloom, an all too common problem.
