Jane, I had a couple from you and they came up the first spring but have yet to show this year. I don't think it is any fault of yours or the dormant roots. None of the Alstromeria have reappeared either but I also put that down to my conditions (or me). I appreciate the chance to experiment and still have a few more places to try these things!
