Dear Rand,

Welcome to the PBS List. There was a man on the IBS list for awhile
many years ago from Seattle named George Krassle. He dropped out and
I didn't have any luck contacting him later. He reported to that
group that he was growing Ferraria on a summer cycle as he was
unable to grow them successfully with his wet cold winters
otherwise. I tried to turn some of mine around and didn't have any
luck even though he said it was quite easy and they started into
growth when he watered them. Maybe if you started them from seed in
the spring and they always had been grown that way it would work. Or
maybe it depended on how they were stored.

In October I plan to have a topic of the week on the subject you
have suggested. It was inspired by Lisa Flaum, but I wanted to wait
until Mark Wilcox has returned from South America since he too is
interested. I've haven't figured out a title yet, maybe Bulbs that
can be grown out of their normal cycle?
