Bulbs that can be converted to another cycle--TOW

Angelo;

I have three groups of boophone disticha seedlings to discuss. The
first I grew from Silverhill Seeds and all have been grown on northern
hemisphere schedule. They start growth in early spring while still
indoors. I received one from Telos that was already on the Northern
hemisphere schedule and the last are three bulbs I recently received
from Croft Nursery as part of a PBS group order. They came into
growth soon after I received them and grew on very well. Not as lush as
the seedling raised ones but put up three to four sets of leaves. I
water them very sparsely during the winter sometimes just dripping a
couple of drops of water around the inside rim of the pot. They sit on
a pebble tray under HID lights.

Of the three eucomis (montana, pole-evansii and comosa) only two
started to grow and the comosa has yet to make an appearance above the
surface of the pot.
