While I have quite few of these (3-4 dozen actually), I have had only one flower. That was from a seedling (matured obviously) from Russel at Odyssey. That was maybe 2 or 3 years ago. My bulbs are, granted, very cramped. I have maybe a doz bulbs plus pups in a 2 gallon pot. I have them planted in clay (also cramped), 12" plastic (compots), and 6" plastic. This spring I divided up one compot and planted them individually in 2 qt. square pots. They were rather stinted while they were in the full sun (at the beach as an experiment) but quickly filled out once they were put back into the shade. Mine just started to lose a few leaves last week. I will probably tip the pots over in a couple of weeks. They never stay dormant for more than a month or so. They will probably start resprouting in late Dec or early January. Being tilted, they don't get any water during the rains so I really don't know what prompts them into such a short dormancy. Sometimes, the old leaves haven't completely dried off before they resprout. Anyone have thoughts? I don't fertilize anything. I know I should but I don't. I want to grow my plants hard so that when I put them in the ground for a client, they will not go into too much shock. I planted 3 bulbs in the ground at my landlady's garden this spring. They get about 3/4 a day of full sun with late afternoon shade. We will see next spring what they will do. ===== John Ingram in L.A., CA. http://www.floralarchitecture.com/ check it out Floralartistry2000@yahoo.com 310.709.1613 (cell, west coast time, please call accordingly.
