Oxalis perdicaria

Dear Uli and All:
I had thought that O. perdicaria was very slow to increase, but when I
tipped out the pots this summer there were a LOT of bulbs. I repotted into
several pots, but each pot only has a few flowers. It seems that many of
the bulbs remain dormant, and one could assume that they weren't there
unless you looked. I think a lot of Oxalis do this, but in most of the pots
I have there are still so many bulbs that bloom and grow each year, it's
easy to overlook the fact that a hefty percentage are sitting the year out.

Dear Mary Sue,
Glad to hear that Oxalis perdicaria is still around. I was given a plant
in
England many years ago, it flowered in autumn with delicate pale yellow
scented
flowers but I lost it. I was never that easy to grow and did multiply at a
painfully slow rate and if I remember rightly I mangaged to share a few
offfsets with the IBS Bulb exchange. This plant was from an Alberto
Castillo
collection from Argentina from the Entre Rios Area so is definetely South
Americam.
Is there anybody who could spare a small bulb? This is a very nice plant.
greetings, Uli
