Dear Lauw, Thanks for all of us for communicating with Gordon and posting his replies. I mentioned in my information about my trip that Alan Horstmann tried chilling his Daubenyas to see if this would improve the bloom. He chilled them dry (like some of us in warmer areas do tulips.) I have created a Daubenya wiki page and you can see his results. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue PBS List Administrator, Wiki Worker, TOW Coordinator (Whew!)
