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.
