>From: Harold Koopowitz <paph2@earthlink.net> "I can think of two reasons why some bulbs in Mediterranean climates flower >in the fall." The whole process of flowering and seed setting is sustained by water obtained from the mother bulbs. The main advantage is that the seed is shed at the beginning of the rainy season and has the possibility of a longer first season of growth. Also, viability is such seed is not the same as spring or summer seed setting bulbs.
