Dear All; I really don't know how much or how long my description of a bulb tree really fits. I have seen these branches, and drawings of branched clumps, but I suppose there must be some rotting of old 'trunks and bulbs can keep growing up all the time, but must pull themselves down.Right? Anyway it is very interesting se that this occurs to a degree at least in other bulbs. We usually don't pay too much attention to what comes out of the bottom of the bulbs, but the top! Me too-still waiting for blooms and multiplication. I do not pretend to understand this genus at all!! Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
